Karl, the bear reporter on duty

The 40-page book is intended for young children. It aims to explain the circumstances of a foreign deployment in child-friendly language and give the little ones an idea of what Mummy and Daddy are experiencing in the country of deployment. In addition, the book includes a calendar in which children can count down the days until their parent returns. Every soldier can receive the book before leaving for a foreign deployment.

The stories can also be listened to as audio books or downloaded as MP3 files on the Internet.
