Take your German to the next level and boost your vocabulary, reading comprehension and grammar sense with these German stories for beginners!

In this follow-up to Ferien in Frankfurt, Dino finds himself in Cologne, the Carnival Capital of Germany and home of the Cologne Cathedral. Struggling with tacky accommodations and an empty wallet, he stumbles over a gig which promises to be a walk down easy street. But before he knows it, the carnival begins and heâ€™s faced with an onslaught of bewildering customs, an inebriated four-legged friend and sudden downpours of candy.

Explore Cologneâ€™s colorful carnival tradition, its very unique form of German humor (yes, it exists!), learn about local sights and sounds, and improve your German effortlessly along the way!
