Das Städtchen Drumherum Naske

Julius and Juliane love the forest that borders their small town. Together with their friends, they use every free minute to play under the big old trees, in the hazelnut thicket and by the pond — where they can let their imaginations run wild. But now her father, the busy mayor, wants to cut down the forest to make the small town a big one. "The forest has to go!" he says, and the excavators are ready. Julius and Juliane are horrified and all the animals in the forest join in their lamentation. High time to do something about this project! Then the small and witty forest witch Frau Hullewulle enters the scene. Is there another way to change the mayor's mind and protect the forest?
