Questo audiolibro propone un approccio diverso per imparare il tedesco, basato sull’ascolto rilassato e su storie brevi che favoriscono la comprensione naturale. Ogni racconto viene narrato prima in italiano, così da seguire senza difficoltà ciò che accade. La stessa storia viene poi ripetuta completamente in tedesco, permettendo di collegare spontaneamente significato e suono. Le storie hanno un ritmo lento e rassicurante: piccoli animali nel bosco, cieli notturni luminosi, avventure tranquille e momenti di coraggio o curiosità.

Dans la forêt de Bellécorce, au creux du chêne où Archibald Renard tient sa librairie, chaque animal qui le souhaite peut déposer le livre qu'il a écrit et espérer qu'il soit un jour acheté. Depuis que ses souvenirs le fuient, Ferdinand Taupe cherche désespérément à retrouver l'ouvrage qu'il a écrit pour compiler ses mémoires, afin de se rappeler les choses qu'il a faites et les gens qu'il a aimés. Il en existe un seul exemplaire, déposé à la librairie il y a des années.

L'hiver et son manteau se sont posés sur la forêt, et le jeune Bartholomé Renard ne saurait être plus impatient : dans quelques jours, ses parents, Pimprenelle et Séraphin, reviendront de leur périple dans le Grand Nord pour les festivités de Yule ! Mais, une fois sur le quai de la gare et la foule dispersée, nulle trace du couple d'explorateurs. Déterminés à les retrouver, Bartholomé et son oncle Archibald s'embarquent à bord du mythique train à vapeur l'Étoile de Bellécorce.

Les festivités d'automne débuteront bientôt à Bellécorce. La forêt prend des airs de fête et tout le monde s'y prépare. Mais, chez Archibald Renard, arrive soudain un visiteur qui risque bien de gâcher les réjouissances : Célestin Loup prétend, documents à l'appui, être le véritable propriétaire de la librairie, qui aurait appartenu à son grand-père.
