What's what
Was ist what (own spelling: WAS IST WAS ) is the best-known brand of Tessloff Verlag and originally stood for a series of non-fiction books for children and young people . In addition, there were and are not only the well-known books, but also knowledge CD-ROMs , a knowledge portal on the Internet , what-is-what CD audio games, Nintendo DS games and a television program of the same name . In the English-speaking world, the name of the brand is How & Why .
history
In 1959 the Tessloff Verlag acquired the German rights to the title How & Why and in 1961 brought out the first four issues under the title Was ist was as a monthly magazine. These could be purchased at the kiosk or in newsagents. Up to 1963, 24 issues of the series had appeared in this format. The first hardcover versions did not appear in bookshops until 1963, and they were also the first non-fiction books for children and young people in Germany. The Was ist was brand has now appeared in over 45 languages and in over 100 countries.
In the early 2000s years was What's what multimedia and created the knowledge portal wasistwas.de the Internet . In 2001 the television series Was ist Was TV began with the main actors Theo, Tess and Quentin, the inquisitive question mark, the brave exclamation mark and the lively point. Since then, radio plays, special editions, puzzles, quiz blocks and various sets of globes have been brought onto the market.
With the series Was ist was Junior for 4- to 7-year-old children from 2007 and Was ist was mini from 2010 to 2016 for children from 3 years of age, the publisher expanded the brand's target age group.
Quiz apps came onto the market in 2011, followed a year later by selected volumes from the Was ist was and Was ist was mini series as e-books .
The Was-ist-was magazine was published by Egmont Ehapa Verlag between 2009 and 2012 . Since July 2013 a new was-ist-was magazine has been published every two months (from January 2017 to six weeks) by Blue Ocean Entertainment .
From 2013 to 2017 published by Tessloff Verlag Was ist was Junior books with Ting audio pen . By tapping the so-called Ting audio pen , sounds and explanations matching the images and texts were played and were intended to give the books the character of a radio play . In spring 2016 Tessloff started with Was ist was Kindergarten , the successor to Was ist was mini , a new series of books for children aged 3 and over.
The Was ist Was First Reading series has been supplementing the publishing program since June 2018. The text and design of the books are tailored to the needs of first-time readers.
The digital audio pen BOOKii developed by Tessloff Verlag has been available since July 2018 . BOOKii is intended to offer complementary digital content to children's books from the Tessloff program, including, for example, funny dialogues, atmospheric noises, interactive games and a reading function.
Book series
The classic book series is aimed at children aged 8 to 12 and explains topics from the fields of history , biology , science and technology to them . All volumes in the book series do not exceed 48 pages and are updated regularly. The title and cover designs have also changed over the years. Volume 3, Energy , was called atomic energy when it was published in the 1960s and - as is typical of the time - also had nuclear energy as the sole topic; the book was only rewritten in a later edition. The title of Volume 38 was Prehistoric Mammals in the first editions , but was changed to Mammals of Prehistoric Times in the mid-1990s . Since October 2013 the volumes have been redesigned in terms of content and design.

What-is-what-TV
According to the principle of the non-fiction book series, various factual topics were dealt with in a child-friendly and media-friendly manner. From 1983 to 1984 there was a 20-minute television broadcast on First German Television , moderated by Heinz Haber . After a break of several years, the concept was revived in a modified form as “Was ist Was TV”. From 2001 to 2009, 52 episodes were produced in two seasons of 30 minutes each.
Radio plays
The radio play series is based on the editions of the television program and was produced with the same voice actors: the narrator and Quentin were voiced by Crock Krumbiegel , the votes for Theo and Tess were given by Jakob Riedl and Anna Carlsson, respectively. From around 2012 the series was formally revised. The series, which consisted of double episodes throughout, has been partially recompiled, whereby it can be seen that the individual titles have been grouped more closely than before on related topics. Since the subjects "cats" and "horses" had been dealt with twice before, a complete double episode was left in the course of the new composition.
