- Humour, adventure and heart: encounters with Giraffe, Leopard and other animals turn Karl’s search for belonging into a lively read-aloud adventure with plenty of opportunities for shared laughter.
Karl, the little Ottifant, grows up surrounded by elephants who love him, even though he has always felt somehow different. His extraordinary trunk trips him up, ties itself in knots and can bend and stretch in the most astonishing ways. When a butterfly leads Karl away from the herd, he sets off on an adventure across the steppe, river and jungle. Along the way, his unusual ‘super trunk’ proves wonderfully useful as he helps Giraffe, Leopard and other animals, and Karl begins to understand that what makes him different is also what makes him special. But an encounter with a whole village of Ottifants raises an even bigger question: where does he truly belong? Otto Waalkes, one of Germany’s best-known and most popular comedians, brings his famous Ottifants to a children’s book for the first time in a warm, humorous story about courage, self-acceptance and finding your own way.
