Timo and the Dancing Alphabet
Timo thinks homework is just a real pest, but when he has to spend some time in bed during an illness his father suggests that this would be a good opportunity for him to have a look at his schoolbooks. ›Everything You Need To Know About Graphic Symbols, Numerals and the Characters of the Alphabet‹ doesn’t sound particularly interesting, it has to be said …
But whenever Timo closes his eyes for a minute whilst he’s reading, something really weird and wonderful happens: the book takes him to a strange land, where he is eagerly awaited by his friends B¹ris, Ramona and Michael. They want to take him along to a big festival to celebrate 7000 years of written characters. And, in the end, the story of writing turns out to be really interesting after all; in fact, truly spellbinding! Who would have thought that possible?
