Hooray, the first snow is here! And it is welcomed with a winter song! How great is the joy of the children when white flakes fall from the sky! Then Mother Holle shakes out her beds! Marie, the diligent one, helps with this and is rewarded. And when she returns home, the rooster on the roof crows: "Look here, the Gold Marie! Ki-ke-ri-ki-ki!" This is how the Brothers Grimm knew it, and this is how the cheerful children's song tells it, which was anonymously created in the 20th century and quickly gained the popularity of a folk song and a classic children's song. In this board book, the children's song is published for the first time independently and with musical notation. A song and picture book that encourages singing along and - for those who can and want to - playing along on the recorder. The imaginative illustrations capture the magic of the fairy tale world and simultaneously provide insight for the little viewers.
