I feel ridiculous posting this book review, but when you're learning a new language, you'll read children's books. Leselöwen ("Reading Lion") is a series of books for new readers. This volume is called animal adventure, and it follows Titu, a small tiger, as he experiences life in the jungle, circus, and other places.
Designed for first readers, pictures are interspersed throughout the text to help the children. And that ended up being a problem. This book is intended for kids fluent in German (speaking/hearing) and learning to read it. As a language learner, the pictures tripped me up and didn't help. I was able to follow everything, but (surprisingly) didn't know several of the words. Good practice overall, but there are better options out there for those learning German as a second language.
