About this listen
Born in the heart of the African jungle, Pumpelhoober takes us on an enchanting journey through his captivating adventures as he grows up. Every aspect of his life unveils a world of wonder, from his hilarious mishaps to his unique reddish hair tinted by sandy road dust.
His ongoing string of bad luck and endearing clumsiness coin him the nickname "Pumpelhoober," enthralling us with delightful insights into his everyday escapades.
Throughout the narrative, we also get to know his parents – an American mother and a German father. Pumpelhoober leads us on an emotional voyage, navigating the highs and lows of his seven-member family. Their journey spans continents, encompassing Cameroon, Germany, and America, as they confront adversity and surmount challenges. In the end, they are all reunited once again.
"The Adventures of Pumpelhoober" deftly weaves together exotic locales with amusing anecdotes, illustrating the unbreakable bonds of family despite physical separation. This book offers an engaging fusion of entertainment and cultural exploration, whisking young readers away to a realm overflowing with laughter, curiosity, and heartfelt warmth.
Narrated by 9-year-old David Trobisch and polished by his father, Walter Trobisch, the book's first publication in 1968 has since seen ten reprints and has been translated into English and Swedish. This special edition features all the vibrant color illustrations by Eva Bruchmann from its original release. The English edition was first published in 1971, translated by Pumpelhoober’s mother, Ingrid Hult Trobisch.
