Marlene im Kräuterland: Ein Hörbuch zur Vermittlung von Kräuterpädagogik

Marlene, ein achtjähriges Mädchen, ist am Wochenende bei ihrer Omi. Sie würde so gerne wissen, wie die ganzen Pflanzen heißen und was man damit machen kann. Sie schläft ein und wacht vor einem Löwenzahn auf, der genau so groß ist wie sie selbst - und er kann sprechen! Auf ihrer Reise durch das Pflanzenland trifft Marlene noch auf weitere acht Pflanzen, bis sie wieder aufwacht und in ihrem Bett ist. Doch, hat sie etwas mitgebracht aus dem Reich der Pflanzen? Marlene im Kräuterland war ursprünglich als Theaterstück eines Kräuterpädagogenlehrgangs in Niederösterreich konzipiert. Im Laufe des Jahres 2013 stellte sich leider heraus, dass die Idee mit dem Theater vorläufig nicht finanzierbar war. Unter Mithilfe von Freunden mit fantastischen Stimmen, die in allen Sparten der Schauspielkunst tätig sind, wurde dann ein Hörspiel angefertigt. Darauf folgten die großartigen Grafiken von Franzi Straube. Mittlerweile findet 'Marlene' gerade wieder den Weg zurück auf die Bühne und wenn alles so läuft, wie es soll, dann wird im Frühjahr 2015 in einer Wiener Schule die Premiere sein. Bis dahin kann man sich das Hörspiel anhören. Hörspiel ca. 40min.

Angus and Sadie

Angus is black and white and strong. Sadie is reddish brown and white and small. "They don't look much alike," says Missus. "They don't act much alike," says Mister. Angus and Sadie are brother and sister. Angus is bigger. He is a good, brave, and clever dog -- and he likes that. Sadie isn't as quick to learn -- or to obey. When cats jump at her, she yelps and runs away. Angus thinks that means she's scared of everything. But Sadie isn't so sure that's true. Newbery Medalist Cynthia Voigt's story of border collie puppies growing up on a farm in Maine is for animal lovers of all ages, and for anyone who's ever had--or wondered what it would be like to have--a brother or sister just like themselves, but very, very different.

Guinea Dog Collection: Books 1-3

Guinea Dog: Rufus has been dreaming of getting a dog. His best friend has one. His worst friend has one. But his dad has a few objections: They whine. They gnaw. They bark. They scratch. They beg. They drool. Rufus pays no attention when his mom offers her think-outside-the-box suggestion, because she can't be serious. She can't be. She can be. And she actually comes home with a guinea pig. And if Rufus's dad thinks dogs are a problem, he won't know what hit him when he meets the Guinea Pig that Thinks She's a Dog. She barks. She bites. She'll eat your homework Guinea Dog 2: When his classmates learn about Fido, the guinea pig that acts like a dog, they all want a piece of Rufus, her owner. But Rufus hates the attention, the demands, the "celebrity." So he decides to make Fido learn how to be an actual guinea pig. But when she goes missing, he feels terrible. Was she lost, "dognapped," or did she run away, because he no longer liked her just the way she was? Offering the same offbeat humor and pacing of the first Guinea Dog, this novel will prove to be a listener's best friend. Guinea Dog 3: When Rufus, Murphy, Lurena, and their pets go camping, they meet Pedro, a shy boy who seems afraid of just about everything--especially the water. One thing leads to another and the kids go into a nearby town to buy him a pet to cheer him up--a guinea pig, naturally. Yet what they bring home may look like a guinea pig, but it can swim--like an otter! Guinea Dog has appeared not only on many state lists, but on county and school district lists as well. Here are just some of its appearances: Hawaii NeNe Award Nominee, Washington State Sasquatch Award Nominee, Massachusetts Children's Book Award Honor, Florida Sunshine State Master List, Kansas Winner of the William Allen White Award, Colorado Children's Book Award Nominee, New Hampshire Great Stone Face Award Master List, and Texas's Cy-Fair Horned Toad Tales List.
