Taking The Leap from Their Recent Release, Finding Frankie Frog, Oetinger Now Looks To Launch “The Ogglies: A Dragon Party For Firebottom” in Late September in North America
Oetinger, an international publisher of children’s literature, today announced the next in its line of interactive books for iOs and Android with the upcoming launch of The Ogglies: A Dragon Party For Firebottom, which will launch digitally in North America and in Europe on September 29th. Oetinger is ready to entertain children of all ages with their interactive storytelling with the popular Children’s license, The Ogglies.
“Following our recent launch of Finding Frankie Frog, we are excited to announce our second North American Interactive children’s novel based on the hugely popular series in Europe, The Ogglies,” said Andreas von Lepel, Chief Technology Officer of Digital Content at Oetinger. “The Ogglies - A Dragon Party for Firebottom follows the adventures of The Ogglies and their beloved Dragon, Firebottom, as they celebrate Firebottys birthday while teaching their young readers new reading skills through music, puzzles and much more.”
It’s time to celebrate! Join Dragon and his friends for a delightful party that combines reading skills and simple tasks for a novel experience young audiences have been craving. Play mini-games including one to fire off bottle rockets to set off the fireworks and another to toss tires over the Dragon’s tail and more! Best of all, parents can record their own voice to be used as narration while their child learns to read the book out loud for themselves.

The Friedrich Oetinger Publishing Group
The Friedrich Oetinger Company, one of the best known publishers of children's books in Germany, was founded immediately after WWII in 1946, with the intention of bringing the joy and excitement of reading back into children's lives. Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking appeared in 1949, and caused an absolute sensation, for who had ever heard of a little girl living all by herself and turning the world upside down? Friedrich Oetinger's strategy of publishing original and challenging literature turned out to be a great success. The current program of the Oetinger Group contains more than 1000 board and picture books, fiction and non-fiction for children and for teenagers. Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games), Cornelia Funke (Ink Heart Trilogy), Ian Falconer (Olivia) and David Melling (Hugless Douglas) are among the company’s most widely read authors. The Oetinger Group is still one of the most innovative German publishing houses, and its focus extends far beyond the classic print book. In addition to producing DVDs, audio books, personalized novels, Onilo board stories and merchandising articles, Oetinger was also the first German children's publisher to release interactive multimedia apps.
