Carlsen Verlag: Diversity for children, young adults, and comic fans

For decades, Carlsen Verlag has stood for a wide range of children's and young adult books. The program ranges from text and picture books to comics and manga – appealing to readers of all ages. The mix of proven classics and innovative new releases makes Carlsen one of the most influential publishers in the German-language book market: literature as a bridge between imagination, knowledge, and social orientation.

Dennis Schröder “School of Magical Animals”

One of the most widely read titles in the current publishing program is The School of Magical Animals. The series inspires with stories about solidarity, self-confidence, and believing in your dreams. The newly designed edition by Dennis Schröder – the European basketball champion – together with author Christian Tielmann and illustrator Jan Saße is particularly in the spotlight.

The book has already gone through several print runs and combines sporting inspiration with emotional depth. Themes such as friendship, family, and perseverance give the story universal relevance and show that success is not only achieved on the playing field.

Bodo Wartke's linguistic wit with “Barbaras Rhabarberbar”

For all those who love language, Carlsen Verlag is bringing a special work to the stage: In Barbaras Rhabarberbar wird niemals der Rhabarber rar (Barbara's Rhubarb Bar: Rhubarb Will Never Be Scarce) by Bodo Wartke. The book brings together original tongue-twister stories that surprise with their wordplay, rhythm, and playful sense of sound.

At the book fair, Wartke will delight audiences with a live event at the convention center, where linguistic artistry and humor come together. The work impressively demonstrates how language can become a stage - a celebration for all who love the sound of words and the joy of speaking.
