Uncle Tobi
Uncle Tobi are four reading books by the children's author Hans-Georg Lenzen . They are particularly suitable as reading books for two to six year olds and were published between 1963 and 1975. They are illustrated by Sigrid Hanck . They are published as an anthology Have fun with Uncle Tobi and as individual works: Uncle Tobi , Uncle Tobi's Landpartie , Visiting Uncle Tobi and Uncle Tobi's birthday
Similar to The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Seven Mice Need Clothes , the attraction lies in a repeated enumeration, which here has the form of a poem in memorable language.
- Uncle is leaving on Saturday morning
- by car into town
- because he's for the next week
- has to buy some things.
Uncle Tobi's increasingly long shopping list or, in the second volume, the description of how to get to an excursion destination is varied slightly in rhyming form.
In the third volume, Uncle Tobi's hobbies and favorite games are described, while in the fourth volume, Uncle Tobi celebrates his 55th birthday with his friends. In order to be able to hang up his birthday present, a calendar, the apartment is rearranged, tidied up and freshly painted.
The first three stories were published on record together with "Then I'll give you a Ferris wheel" by the same author and with supplementary children's songs as a reading by Heinz Schacht (baccarola 80 757 ZW).
