Kann die Sonne schwimmen?
Weil der kleine Krake keine Flossen hat, kann er nicht schwimmen. Aber er will es unbedingt lernen, weil er wenigstens ein einziges Mal die Sonne sehen will. Jeden Tag übt er fleißig. Der kleine gelbe Fisch hat ihm nämlich erzählt, die Sonne habe auch keine Flossen. Trotzdem könne sie schwimmen. Abends versinke sie im Meer und am Morgen schwimme sie wieder nach oben. Ob es dem kleinen Kraken wohl gelingt, die Sonne zu sehen?
Ein Bilderbuch mit vielen farbigen Illustrationen für Kinder ab 2 Jahren.

Needed a German book for my grandson’s visit. I speak German, so I am supposed to read as many German children books to him as possible, so he’ll learn German too.
“Kann die Sonne schwimmen” by Alexandra Dannenmann has a very cute plot. The little octopus wants to learn how to swim because he wants to see the sun. Though the starfish tells him that he can’t learn how to swim because he has no fins he stays on target. The little yellow fish told him that every evening the sun swims on the ocean. It’s big and round, and all yellow and orange, and, the too sun doesn’t have fins.
So the octopus enrolls in swimming classes taught by a fish. “Fins up, fins down” the teacher says... but obviously, our little octopus doesn’t have fins. While he is sitting on the ocean floor, all sad, a storm is happening. The storm lasts all night. The reader can see a crate with orange bobbing up and down on the ocean; obvious it fell from a ship.
That evening, one of the oranges sinks to the ocean floor. The little octopus sees the “thing” - big and round, yellow and orange, and, it doesn’t have fins. Since it looks just like how the little yellow fish described the sun – It’s got to be “the sun.” The little octopus lays down to sleep “next to the sun.” When she is gone the next day, he is not surprised. The little yellow fish told him that during the day the sun is up on the sky, warming planet Earth.
This is a beautiful, enchanting, and charming book. My grandson loved it. I appreciated the it is an unusual story, not “the usual.” Loved it.

As I continue to learn German, I like reading children's books because the writing is simpler and, well, because they're written to help children learn to read German. Plus how could anyone not love these adorable drawings. The octopus hears about the sun from the fish in the sea, and wants to see it too. I don't want to give anything away, but I thought it was very cute how it turned out.
One book at a time, I'll get there until I can finally read Kafka in the original German. I have a ways to go. ;-)
