For nearly 50 years, the Uncle Tobi stories have been a popular reading pleasure in children's rooms. Whether Uncle Tobi goes shopping in the city or makes acquaintances on a country outing, everything is vividly told in words and pictures. And the humor is not lacking! This book is suitable for children aged four and up for reading aloud, for jointly looking at the pictures, and later for independent reading. It was on the selection list for the German Youth Literature Prize in 1964.
