00:01:29: is there a special book on the other side of the Special Book because they're where new things to resolve,

00:01:38: science ways how to deal with something and then to be we had this time my sister was

00:01:47: much more integrated in the world so you will see the layout of the text is there is more playful and another way.

00:01:57: This is always surprising me to it was a surprise for me wow what is possible to do with the text.

00:02:08: I think you you had a look at it.

00:02:12: Yes I have had a look at it I enjoyed reading it and I agree that

00:02:19: but I think the smaller pieces of text in the pictures work much better and yeah and it feels.

00:02:29: I think it it feels more child friendly that way as well.

00:02:34: Yes yes and it's more I think it's more of a woman with maybe course now was my sister.

00:02:43: Yeah that's lovely to have more family involved as well and my mother was if there are any mistakes.

00:02:53: What's the English one had a lot of work because of the quotation marks.

00:03:00: Tricky in Germany beginning down and Slater.

00:03:05: State some of this down quotation marks and I need to

00:03:11: go camera time suitable into my husband to find every who is not there needs to be punctuation by sometimes

00:03:26: because or every language the punctuation is another it's really really crazy,

00:03:34: switch from from the language to language I mean example of you know what's involved in the translation

00:03:47: you know it's it's not just simply translating you know it's it's 4 for each person.

00:03:56: He's reading it in whatever language you know you'll be complex sometimes yeah yeah of you and Branco at the end.

00:04:10: Oh yeah yeah it's a new see that was lovely.

00:04:20: Personally like.

00:04:37: recognisably you too yes

00:04:48: and what's your favourite character this time

00:04:53: oh my favourite character was the Opera rabbit.

00:05:39: What was testing for you with him yeah well I do.

00:05:46: He just appeal to me because you know that thing about a larger than life character coming into your home.

00:05:55: And you being delighted to begin with.

00:05:59: But then slowly that Delight kind of fading away to you being really irritated by him.

00:06:06: And I think it's just something that we probably all got experience also.

00:06:13: It was able to you you have an emotional connection then the story which always interesting.

00:06:22: And it's a question was guests maybe Brown called you did you have one day I guess when singing,

00:06:30: it's time that you could go

00:06:32: Maria obviously we all know this feeling when we have guests and it's just too much and we have to take care of so many things at the same time and it's over and yeah yeah obvious.

00:06:47: Yeah sometimes I thinking every family you have got members.

00:06:54: Yeah yeah yeah yeah definitely.

00:07:02: Interesting that that you have what people was what's the biggest or heroes in the.

00:07:22: The people who don't have the filling it's time to go they just don't get it yeah,
