The Making of a Children’s Book
From Idea to Print
Every year thousands of new books are published. You can get a notion of that vast number at the large book fairs in Frankfurt or Leipzig. The companies producing the books that are presented here are called publishing houses. Some of the publishing houses also present books here that have been made especially for children who are learning to read. For instance this book about “Magical Animal Stories”. But how exactly are the books made which are presented here? What does a publishing house do? What people and what ideas are responsible for the publication of a book? What has to happen for a book to be printed and for us to be able to buy it in a bookstore and read it? Let’s turn back time a little and watch how, for instance, this book with the magical animal stories was produced.

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
Youth Movement
Dancing until your feet hurt: Here, at the meeting on the Hoher Meissner near Kassel, 3,500 participants from Boy Scout associations, youth and Wandervogel groups from all over the German-speaking region have gathered. They want to celebrate, simply get to know each other and commemorate a historic anniversary.
