Gutenachtgeschichten für Celeste
(Bedtime Stories for Celeste) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
Tonight, Boris and Celeste are home alone while their parents visit the neighbours. Boris is thrilled to finally have crisps and biscuits for dinner! Celeste insists on hearing a bedtime story – a really scary one. Nothing could be better! Boris knows a number of stories about terrible ghosts that wait for little girls at night…which Celeste finds boring. Or dangerous giant toads that sneak up on you. But Celeste thinks toads are cute. She even makes fun of dragons, man-eating lizards and multi-headed monsters. She’s just not scared. That is, until she makes up a story herself that teaches Boris to be afraid.

Comment:
Three-headed dogs, giant toads, carnivorous flowers – little Celeste isn’t afraid, no matter how terrifying the monsters her brother tells her about are. There’s plenty to smile about in Bedtime Stories for Celeste.
