by Lisa Stevens aka Lisibo || My first German Storybird! A counting story for Halloween in German. Count backwards from 9 to 0 and then look for the Halloween objects in the previous pages. Very simple! || by Beate Bowler || //**Lisa talking about her immediate future and her future plans. **// || by Julie King || //**Winter im Wundertal.
