Endlich was für die Kleinen
Fast nichts am Fußball ist für ein dreijähriges Kind gemacht. Das Spiel geht bis nach der Schlafenszeit, und neunzig Minuten sind ungefähr fünfundachtzig mehr, als es durchhält.
Das hier ist das erste Stück Fußball, das wirklich ihm gehört. Das ganze Etihad auf dem Schoß, wann immer es danach fragt.
Jede Seite hat ihren eigenen Spielkommentar, gemacht für Kinder. Hier ein Stück von jeder.
Hier hörst du ein paar Sekunden pro Seite. Im Buch läuft jede Seite etwa eine Minute.
Der Kommentar in diesem Buch ist auf Englisch.
Was klappt sich da eigentlich auf?
expand_moreFünf Doppelseiten, und jede einzelne stellt sich beim Aufschlagen auf. Das Stadion, die Mannschaften beim Einlaufen, das Foul, das die Partie unterbricht, der Freistoß mit der Mauer davor, und der Ball im Netz. Das Spiel baut sich selbst auf, während sie umblättern.
Was macht der Ton?
expand_moreAuf jeder Seite gibt es einen Knopf, und ein Kommentator beschreibt diesen Moment: was gerade passiert ist und warum. Er erklärt, was ein Foul ist, warum der Schiedsrichter rückwärts geht, wofür die Mauer da steht. Es ist das Spiel, erzählt vom Mann am Mikrofon, kein Fangesang und kein Soundeffekt.
In welcher Sprache ist der Kommentar?
expand_moreAuf Englisch, durchgehend. Er ist für Kinder aufgenommen, also eine echte Spielstimme, aber auf Fünfjährige zugeschnitten.
Für welches Alter ist es?
expand_moreAb drei, und es trägt bis etwa sieben. Die Kleinen sind wegen der Pop-ups und der Knöpfe dabei. Die Größeren fangen an zuzuhören, was der Kommentator ihnen eigentlich erzählt.
Kann man ihn leiser stellen oder ausschalten?
expand_moreBeides. Es gibt einen Lautstärkeregler und einen Ein-Aus-Schalter, also darf es samstagnachmittags laut sein und auf der Rücksitzbank leise.
Braucht es Batterien?
expand_moreAAA-Batterien, schon drin. Es funktioniert, sobald du die Schachtel aufmachst.
Ist das offiziell lizenziert oder von Fans gemacht?
expand_moreJa, offiziell lizenziert. Das Wappen, die Farben, die Fangesänge, die Illustrationen: alles vom Verein selbst freigegeben. Hier gibt es nichts Inoffizielles, und nichts entsteht ohne sein Okay.
Wie lange dauert die Lieferung?
expand_moreDrei bis fünf Tage in Europa, Großbritannien und den USA. Wir haben überall dort Lagerbestand, dein Paket kommt also aus einem Lager in deinem eigenen Land.
Und wenn es uns nicht gefällt?
expand_moreDreißig Tage, volle Rückerstattung, ohne Nachfragen. Wenn es nicht so ankommt, wie du gehofft hast, sag uns Bescheid und wir regeln das.

A tiny Etihad that opens right in their hands!

Our little William has carried the City pop-up book from room to room all week. Being able to turn the sound down is very welcome after the sixth replay! There was no need to explain it, which is always a good sign.
Grace R. 5/5 Verified
We opened Victoria's parcel after dinner and ended up doing our own commentary too. The buttons are easy to spot and give a good response. Only thing I would change is making the commentary a little longer. Feels special without being fussy.

My grandchild Toby recognised Etihad at once and would not stop smiling. Each bit of commentary follows the picture, so it is easy for a young child to understand. There was no need to explain it, which is always a good sign.

It took Harvey about ten seconds to find every sound button. There was no need to explain it, which is always a good sign. Being able to turn the sound down is very welcome after the sixth replay!
