Beschreibung

"The Nodules Gang … on the way to their dreams" Under guidance of potato girl Molli, six little potato kids run away from Farmer Billy's barn in order to find their dreams. They run into a mole called Volli who has never had friends before. The potato kids decide to take Volli along on their trip. As a mole, he is particularly able to smell and hence his job is to smell all the different odours and scents on behalf of the potato kids. In return, the potatoes will tell the almost blind mole Volli what they can see on their trip. United they stand! Eine Übersetzung des Buches "Die Knöllchenbande ... unterwegs zu ihren Träumen" Sechs Kartoffelkinder, die jeweils den Namen einer Kartoffelsorte tragen, reißen aus der Scheune des Biobauern Willi aus, um ihre Träume zu suchen. Sie treffen zunächst auf den Maulwurf Volli, der bisher noch nie Freunde hatte. Molli als Anführerin der kleinen Knöllchenbande fordert Willi auf, sich ihr anzuschließen. Da Maulwürfe besonders gut riechen können, soll er für die Kartoffelkinder alle Düfte erschnüffeln. Im Gegenzug erzählen die Kartoffelkinder dem Maulwurf, alles, was sie unterwegs sehen. Gemeinsam sind sie stark und machen sich auf die Suche nach ihren Träumen. Unterwegs lernen sie andere Tiere kennen und lernen etwas über sie. Volli geriet sogar in Gefahr. Ein Mäusebussard will sich ihn schnappen. Die Kartoffelkinder retten ihren Freund jedoch aus den Fängen des Mäusebussards.

In Farmer Billy's barn

Another fine day draws to a close on the farm. Organic farmer Billy takes one last look around the big barn. There are crates and crates filled and almost bursting with yummy scrummy potatoes!  Farmer Billy feels proud of his hard work. He really likes growing potatoes. But he doesn’t just plant and tend to them, he also likes breeding new kinds of potato. It’s not only great fun it’s very interesting too!

„Now my work is done for the day. I think I’ll have a quick peek at what my Rosy has cooked for tea. I’m so hungry!” says Farmer Billy aloud to himself. Billy switches off the barn light and makes his way over to the farmhouse. On the way, he chuckles to himself for speaking loudly even though there is no one else there in the empty barn. Or is there?
