Oksana Bulas "Nein, ich bin nicht müde! / Ja, ich will ins Bett!" ist ein innovatives Wende-Bilderbuch, das Kindern ab 3 Jahren auf unterhaltsame Weise das Thema Einschlafen näherbringt. Das Buch erzählt zwei charmante Geschichten aus dem Wald: Auf der einen Seite erfahren wir vom Bären, der den Winter erleben möchte und sich gegen den Winterschlaf wehrt, bis ihn die Müdigkeit doch einholt. Auf der anderen Seite begleiten wir den Wisent, der sich nichts sehnlicher wünscht, als die kalte Jahreszeit verschlafen zu können, obwohl seine Art keinen Winterschlaf hält. Durch die entgegengesetzten Perspektiven auf das Thema Schlaf und Ruhe regt das Buch zum Nachdenken und Diskutieren an.

Children's & YA2016Bison Looks for a Nest
by Oksana Bula (Author), Oksana Bula (Illustrator)
Once upon a time a bison met a bear. Winter was coming and he asked the bear where he could get food since everything was covered with snow. The bear answered that he didn’t eat in the winter. Instead he usually went into a deep sleep. Every year at the same time the Tukonis, the magical forest inhabitants, would put him to sleep in a den and wake him up at springtime. The bison was amazed. He had never slept all though the winter and couldn’t even imagine that other animals did. How wonderful it would be to sleep in a cozy nest rather than roam around in the snow searching for food! The bison decided that the Tukonis should put him to bed as well.
