Max und Moritz: Eine Bubengeschichte in sieben Streichen

In this lively picture tale two raven‑cheeked boys spend their days turning everyday chores into comic calamities. Their first scheme targets a widow’s feathered flock: they tie bread to the chickens’ necks, sending the birds into a frantic, tangled dance that ends in a clucking disaster. The mischief escalates when the boys sneak onto the roof and help the widow’s kitchen turn a simple roast into a chaotic chase, leaving the poultry scrambling for safety.

The verses are short, punchy and rimed, letting listeners picture each prank as it unfolds in the quiet village. Illustrations accompany the rhymes, capturing the boys’ grin and the villagers’ exasperated reactions. With a blend of cheeky humor and gentle moral hints, the story invites listeners to relish the chaos of childhood curiosity while hinting that even the most clever tricks have consequences.
