Bremer BuchPremiere: Michael Augustin – Der Holzwurm wohnt im Schaukelstuhl

In the organizer's words:

A reading for ages 6 and up with music by Uli Sobotta

Animal poems for children and for people who were once children and, of course, for popular pets such as dogs, fleas, hamsters, cats, spiders, tortoises, parrots, bats, guinea pigs, woodlice, ornamental fish, elephants and so on.

Do sparrows make faces? Do snails race each other? Children love animal poems and they will certainly like Michael Augustin's often quirky and sometimes funny poems. In fact, Augustin says that when it is quiet all around him and he takes the time to listen to himself, he can still hear the echo of his own child's voice. And so his first book of poems for children has finally come into being.
Andreas Röckener has illustrated it with appropriate humor.

Michael Augustin studied Irish literature and folklore in Kiel and Dublin and has lived in Bremen since 1979. He writes poems, mini-dramas and short prose as well as poetry for children. His literary works, collages and drawings appear in magazines worldwide.
