NEW WRITERS OFTEN FIND BEGINNINGS DIFFICULT-WHETHER they're starting a story or a novel-because they take the word "beginning" too literally.

King Kong

3.0 (2)

Die Lesestarter von Oetinger motivieren auch leseschwache Kinder zum Lesen. Wie? Mit bekannten Autoren, starken Charakteren und populären Themen, die Kinder im Alter von fünf bis zehn Jahren begeistern. Und mit vielen Bildern, Spielen und Leserätseln. Das Meerschweinchen mit Herz! Mit King-Kong macht Lesenlernen einfach richtig Spaß. Susanna hat Junge gekriegt. Vier Stück auf einmal. Das ist bei Meerschweinchen nichts Besonderes. Eins von ihnen gehört jetzt Jan-Arne. Nett, dass Frieder es ihm geschenkt hat. Einfach so. Es fühlt sich warm und weich an, und wenn man es in die Hand nimmt, fiept es ganz leise. Frieder sagt, dass es ein Weibchen ist, aber Jan-Arne gibt ihm den Namen King-Kong. Schließlich soll es mal groß und stark und wild werden.

What if-- ?

0.0 (0)

Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by signature xkcd comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion. The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with updated and expanded versions of the most popular answers from the xkcd website.
