Looking for simple books that I can find the German translation of. I have Harry Potter, but between all the made up words and, well, I'd rather read something else.

I also have The Little Prince, but its honestly still a bit above my reading level, but don't worry about that. I'll come back to this thread for a while, I'm sure, as my reading level gets up to young adult, again.

Let's revisit our favorite childhood books, together!

    I second Astrid Lindgren.

    If you want books written by germans, "Krabat" by Otfried Preußler is pretty cool (and rather dark). Erich Kästner is great, so is Walter Moers. There's also "Momo" and "The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende.

    TKKG is a bit more mundane and trivial, but probably perfect for what you're looking for.

    The language is relatively simple, but the cases are pretty engaging and entertaining, considering the target audience.
