The World’s Longest Picnic

Three snails – Otto, Anna and Izzy – are planning a picnic. At a snail’s pace, they pack a thousand delicacies into their baskets and set off.
Six months have passed: the three are still on the road, their stomachs growling loudly. But they will only eat when they reach their destination, they are strict about that.
Another two and a half years later: the snails are at the end of their tether.
But then they finally arrive.
Oh no, they have forgotten the cloverleaf spritzer! There is no way around it, Otto has to go back, he is the strongest: ‘Don’t you dare start without me!’ Can Anna and Izzy hold out?

The snail story by Jörg Bernardy and Katja Spitzer is colourful, dramatic, funny – and wonderfully profound!
You can philosophise with children about trust and mistrust, about the sense and senselessness of principles, and about time passing at a snail’s pace.
