Keine Angst vorm Angsthaben Leo ist ein bisschen schüchtern, vor allem vor seinem ersten Tag im neuen Kindergarten. Er macht sich viele Gedanken und immer, wenn er sich sorgt, taucht ein großer Bär in seiner Nähe auf. Leo würde ihn am liebsten verstecken, aber der Sorgenbär ist immer da. Nur wenn Papa ihn umarmt oder wenn er mit seinen Freunden spielt, dann verschwindet der Bär von ganz allein – bis er ganz unerwartet wieder auftaucht. Doch mit der Zeit versteht Leo: Jeder hat mal Angst. Und das ist völlig okay. Manchmal sind Gefühle schwer in Worte zu fassen. Dieses einfühlsam erzählte Kinderbuch für Kinder ab 3 Jahren findet Bilder dafür. Es lädt Kinder ein, über ihre Ängste zu sprechen, ihre Unsicherheiten genau unter die Lupe zu nehmen und sich selbst mit all seinen Gefühlen anzunehmen. Mit Wärme, Humor und einer starken Symbolik hilft Leos Geschichte Kindern, zu verstehen: Jeder hat manchmal Sorgen. Das ist ganz normal. Aber man muss sie nicht allein bewältigen.

Und deshalb muss Charlie zusammen mit seinen drei besten Freunden sein neues »Talent« irgendwie in den Griff kriegen – und zwar SCHNELL! Ausstattung: Mit s/w Illustrationen

With the support of best friends Flora, Mohsen and Wogan, can Charlie unravel the mystery of the pet-nappings in time to shake a tail-feather at the disco? Or will his hidden adversary reveal Charlie's biggest secret to the world...?
