André’s Show was “elephantastic”

“Come in.  The standing room at the back is reserved, but otherwise everything else is still free” – with these words and a glint in his eye André Gatzke welcomed the guests on Saturday, 23rd April, 2016 to the Georg-Hieronymi-Saal in Oberursel’s town hall.  The book show Libra had invited them to two presentations of “Andrés Spiele-Show”, or put another way, to an active reading of his book.  Around 20 children came to each of the shows with their parents, and even the new Fountain Queen Nadine I. stopped by and took one of the “reserved” places.

André Gatzke is better known to many families simply as André, one of the presenters of “Die Sendung mit dem Elefanten” (“The programme with the Elephant”) on the KiKA channel, as a reporter on the “Sendung mit der Maus” (“The programme with the Mouse”) or from the programme “2 durch Deutschland” (“2 through Germany”).  Less well known is that he is also an author, writing for “Die Sendung mit dem Elefanten” and now his own book of games.
