Vater und Sohn (Father and Son) is about a plump, balding father and his son in everyday situations. Lots of humour, sure to elicit giggles.

Gift this to a child who resists Mandarin and he will be begging you to read this to him to find out what happened!

Can't find the book in the house? Perhaps Dad has sneaked the comic away in a corner and is enjoying the read! Fun for adults too. Perfect gift for a father too, newly minted or otherwise.

Who says Mandarin books are boring? No way!

Fun fact:
This was originally a pantomime comic, without any words,
and featured weekly in the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung from 1934 to 1937.

Note: There are 2 versions of the book -

  1. A single, thicker softcover book
    in light brown
    Suitable for reading at home
  2. Set of 6 thinner, lighter softcover books
    in various colours.
    Suitable for bringing out, or to school for Primary School Silent Reading.
    Additional feature: QR code that links to an audio readaloud for each story

Both versions contain

  • similar stories
  • hanyu pinyin

Also do note that there are instances of smoking within the comics,
reflective of the social norms in the times and setting of the publications.
