Sometimes Karlchen has his head full of crazy ideas. For example, he wants Christmas to be in the middle of summer so he doesn't have to wait so long for presents. Sometimes he plays nicely with his cousin Käthe, and other times he has to argue with her. That's just how Karlchen is. And that's why the children like him. The first storybook of Karlchen is perfect for evening reading, as no story lasts longer than a minute.
