The idea behind the book

Every busy city hides exactly one green budgie.

Find Pistachio! is a screen-free seek-and-find adventure. Mira, Dad and Pistachio ride the train from Berlin to Lübeck, and every panorama is packed with markets, riversides, castles and squares.

The book teaches real search skills: start with the edges, follow what moved, notice where people are looking. Bonus finds and answer pages at the back make it just as good for searching alone as for searching together.
