An iconic German comic creation makes its children’s-book debut: a funny and heart-warming picture book about courage, belonging and the superpower of being different, for ages 4 and up!
- A much-loved character enters a new arena: Germany’s popular comedian Otto Waalkes brings his iconic Ottifants to life in his first children’s book.
- An empowering message of self-acceptance: Karl’s journey shows young children that being different can be a strength and encourages them to follow their own path.
- 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.

Being a princess sounds wonderful, but Isabella has had enough. Fine clothes, a crown and endless rules are no substitute for climbing trees and having adventures. When her father declares that princesses simply do not climb trees, Isabella refuses to accept that being royal means missing out on everything that is fun.
The king sends his rebellious daughter to the kitchen to peel potatoes and chop onions, expecting her to change her mind. Instead, Isabella loves it. Even a spell in the pigsty fails to make palace life more appealing. With warmth and mischievous humour, Cornelia Funke tells the story of an unconventional princess who knows exactly what she wants and a father who gradually learns to let Isabella be herself.
