The titles in this series use rich, rhyming stories and picture/word flaps to give children a fun way of exploring sound and rhyme. Each story is told in the style of a fable, with two flaps per page - each concealing a word which forms part of the rhyming text.

Tief im Herzen des Waldes lebt die kleine Eule Federweis mit ihren Geschwistern Schuschu und Fluff. Die Mutter füttert sie und erzählt ihnen vom aufregenden Leben der Eulen, vom Fliegen und Jagen im Mondlicht. Doch Federweis hat Angst vorm Fliegen und würde am liebsten für immer im weichen, warmen Nest bleiben. Seine Geschwister und er wachsen und wachsen jedoch, und es wird immer enger im Nest. Bis eines Nachts Federweis tatsächlich seine Flügel ausbreitet.
