G&G was founded by Georg Glöckler in 1998 and has become Austria’s leading Publishing House for children’s books and learning aids. In January 2014 Georg Glöckler bought Ueberreuter Kinder- und Jugendbuchverlag and Annette Betz and is now the head of all the three imprints. G&G specialises on the encouragement of the reading competence and motivation of children and young adults. G&G stands for gorgeous picture books, fun children’s books and quality young fiction – with a strong backlist including some award-winning children’s book classics – as well as learning aids. We’re proud to work with authors like Felix Mitterer, Franz Sales Sklenitzka, Friedl Hofbauer, Lene Mayer-Skumanz, Edith Schreiber-Wicke, Robert Klement and more.

Annette Betz was founded in Munich in 1962 and was owned by Ueberreuter Verlag from 1966 until 2013. Annette Betz Verlag publishes books for children up to eight years of age.

Its programme consists of picture books, songbooks and series, combining high literary and artistic quality. To mark its Fiftieth anniversary, the publishing house released a selection of its best-known picture books in a new format in 2013. The titles include e. g. Ich hab ein kleines Problem, sagte der Bär by Heinz Janisch and Silke Leffler. The beautifully illustrated musical picture books give young children a gentle introduction into the world of classical and modern music. Thanks to the age-appropriate form, even pre-school children can enjoy operas such as The Magic Flute or classical pieces like The Moldau.

Ueberreuter was founded by the Salzer family in 1946. In spring 2012 Ueberreuter moved from Vienna to Berlin. Ueberreuter Kinder- und Jugendbuch publishes realistic and fantasy literature for children and young adults. The spring 2014 list includes the sequel of Andrea Schütze’s funny character Count Coriander. Bradley Buxbaum writes a strong debut with Cactus Kid and Jens Schumachers Asmoduin, the nuisance from hell, is back, eating even more chocolate bars! In the young adult section, Wolfgang Hohlbein’s books are timeless fantasy classics. In realistic fiction, Carolin Philipps writes sensitive yet page turning books on issues such as child abuse, prostitution and bullying.

A big parcel arrives – how exciting!

And then there’s a talking stuffed elephant inside it. Anton can hardly believe his luck and sets off on an adventurous expedition with his new friend. Together, they climb Mount Kilimanjaro, meet lions in the steppes and swing from vine to vine in the jungle.

It’s a very exciting afternoon – until Anton’s mum interrupts. The parcel was actually meant for Luise next door…

Clara loves her dog Bruno. He’s her constant companion, until he grows old and sick. Antje Damm has written and illustrated numerous children’s books and been nominated for the GermanChildren’s and YA Literature Prize.

It’s Butscher the puppy’s very first spring.

Oh, how he’d like to be a bird instead of a dog! They sing so beautifully but all he can say is “woof”. His friend Boller explains that if he was a bird, he’d only do little droppings instead of big poos. He’d have to watch out for cats instead of chasing them.

And with his lovely loud barks, Butscher can protect Jolla the lady dog in the farmyard.

That wins him over and from now on, he’s happy to be a dog.

The blackbird and the thrush are about to get married and the birds are in the middle of the wedding preparations.

Everyone is excited and they all make suggestions about which composers should be played at the ceremony: Bach, Mozart or maybe Verdi? The young couple, however, don’t really approve of any of these. Finally, they decide to sing themselves, together with their guests.

With her debut ‘The Day Anton Wasn’t There’ 30 years ago Edith Schreiber-Wicke immediately became one of the foremost Austrian authors of children’s books.

Lukas is new in class and feels like he can’t keep up. And - to be honest he isn’t very smart. There are things he just doesn’t get:

These 20 stories about the curious and courageous Anton are brilliantly written, full of imagination, enthusiasm and wit.

‘How do you talk to girls?’

‘Are there rules about how to behave towards your class mates?’

‘What’s cool - and why?’

Edith Schreiber-Wicke (*1943) studied Theatre

Science, German and History of Art. Her books have been translated into many different languages and awarded several prizes, including the Austrian Prize for Children's and Youth Literature, the Prize of the City of Vienna and the Janusz Korczak Medal.

26

Unable to cope with all these burning questions, suddenly and totally unexpectedly someone comes to his aid but Lukas isn’t sure whether he wants this help after all...
