Aaah! Over 10,000 bilingual e-books in a single PDF: The picture book "Egbert Turns Red" is now available online for free as a newly illustrated 🎁 eBook in PDF format (approx. 49MB) with layers for over 10,000 language combinations.
The new illustrations were created with the support of Google Gemini. The techniques of "claymation" and the artistic styles of Gustav Klimt and Vincent van Gogh were particularly strong inspirations for the current new illustrations of "Egbert Turns Red".
In combination with English, the eBook is available here as a free PDF download in over 100 languages and dialects, for example, in the 🎁 English-French language combination. Simply choose your desired second language below and then click the "Open" button to read the bilingual eBook:
Note: Both languages can be changed within the eBook, which means each PDF contains over 10,000 freely combinable language combinations. For an alternative bilingual view, you can select your desired language combination in a PDF reader that supports layers (e.g., Acrobat Reader on Windows PCs or the Firefox browser for PCs). To do this, simply click the visibility icon in the PDF's layers panel to show or hide the language layers. You can then view the story's text in your desired language combination, such as 🎁 German-Spanish.
You are warmly invited to discover and enjoy the new illustrations right here or later at your leisure in the 🎁 free e-book, and to take the opportunity to bring the story to life with your children, with your own creativity, in ever-new and exciting pictures!
If you cannot or do not want to open e-books in PDF format, you will find the new illustrations in the English-German language combination directly below:
Note: This new edition is not intended to replace the old editions, nor should it be seen as an "update" or "improvement". The newly illustrated edition is simply an additional perspective that plays and experiments with the new technical possibilities of the present, just as children experimented with golden pens and highlighters when they first got their hands on them.
Since its first publication in 2009, the "Egbert Turns Red" coloring story has been about coloring the illustrations yourself, thinking creatively, reimagining them, and inventing and "painting" new details and plotlines.
For your own creative experiments, the e-book contains an additional layer with the sketch-like 🎁 coloring page outlines of the book's original illustrations.
If
you are unable or unwilling to open e-books in PDF format with layers,
you can also find the sketch-like coloring page illustrations with text
in the German-English language combination right here:
Note: 10,000+ 🎁 eBooks in PDF format were released, which also contain these uncolored, sketch-like illustrations on an additional layer in the PDF, so that children can reinvent and color the story in their own way.
If you cannot or do not want to open eBooks in PDF format, you will find the illustrations in the English-German language combination directly below:
Please note: Over 10,000 bilingual editions featuring the colorful illustrations above are also available for 🎁 free as eBooks in PDF format.
