Peterchens Mondfahrt

More about the book

In the corner stands a large bed with colorful curtains. To the left, there is a toy cupboard, a dollhouse, and a rocking horse. In the center of the room is a wide, low children's table. A door with floral curtains leads to the right front. Next to the door are a small wardrobe, a bathtub, a washstand with two bowls, and a colorful dresser filled with picture books. In the background, a wide window with curtains and flowers is visible. It is evening, and Peterchen and Anneliese are being put to bed by Minna. Peterchen washes at the washstand while Anneliese sits on the bed, braiding her hair for the night. Minna closes the window and urges them to get into bed quickly. She takes the sponge from Peterchen and dries his face. Peterchen complains about his nose, but Minna reassures him. Anneliese proudly shows her finished braid, and Minna encourages her to hurry to bed. Anneliese wishes to dream of little white sheep, while Peterchen dreams of horses, counts, and many treats. Minna combs his hair and insists he hurry, while Peterchen indignantly explains that one does not eat a count. Minna ignores him and ensures he is clean before sending him to bed.
