Disney: “The Lustige Taschenbuch English Edition”

“The Lustiges Taschenbuch English Edition” is a comic pocketbook written by different Disney authors. The first English edition was published in 2009. Altogether, 10 pocketbooks have been published, with each containing seven entertaining stories.

Similar to all the other Disney LTB pocketbooks, the English edition presents many amusing comics with the most popular Disney characters such as Donald, Uncle Scrooge and Mickey. The comics deal with different events happening in Duckbourg or the characters’ voyages to far-away destinations. The seventh story of the first edition in which Donald strands on an island and is confronted with mystic creatures serves as a perfect example.

The key benefit of the English edition is the list of annotations which help the non-native reader to follow the story-line. Most of them are advanced words which you can use in other contexts. In addition, character profiles which contain information about the characters are provided. They enable the reader to understand the characters’ actions.

I strongly recommend this book to readers of every age who want to improve their English and who are interested in Duckbourg comics. It is an easy way to learn new English vocabulary.

“The Lustiges Taschenbuch English Edition” is a comic paperback which has been written by different authors. It is an entertaining comic containing seven stories, which are set in different locations.

The stories are about Mickey, Donald and Uncle Scrooge who live in Duckburg. Each story shows the characters in a different situation. Although the stories are a little child-like, they are not boring. They are easy to understand and they are much fun and entertaining.

What makes the book special, are the panels which help you understand the plot. Moreover, the comic provides the non-native reader with a detailed vocabulary list.

All in all, I recommend this book to readers who are younger than 15 because the stories are rather child-like and due to that they are probably less entertaining for adults. It's for everybody who wants to improve their English.
