This is a very high quality production. In terms of content it's an improvement over the book to the extent that a good bit (not all) of the outdated gender stuff is eliminated (I pointed this out to J).
Stuff J wanted to discuss was how & why the mommy got all teary when the boy went for his first excursion because she's "afraid that he might run into a pike or something." J is very impressed by the numerous pikes (Hechte) we run into in children's stories. Here I guerillaed in some quick dative-verb practice: Meinst du, dass sie fürchtet, ihm könnte etwas zustoßen? (+ passieren and geschehen).
Also, the descriptions of the underwater dishes the nixie family eats were a good chance to practice words for "disgusting" like ekelhaft, eklig, widerlich, zum Kotzen, etc.
