Roger Hargreaves, Mister Daydream

Since J loves the Hargreaves stories, but we've read all of them that exist in German, we're going to read the rest in English and translate them ourselves. This is the first. 


We went through this sentence by sentence. It was clear right away that J is a very good translator. For example, for this sentence:

It was a small, cloud-shaped figure,

He rattled of without any hesitation:

"Es war eine kleine, wolkenförmige Figur."

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that. I don't recall ever explicitly teaching him the suffix -förmig for ______-shaped. He obviously picked it up somewhere along the way.
