This busy picture shows the German city of Augsburg about 500 years ago. It is winter. The names of the months October, November, and December are written in German on small signs on the fronts of houses. We see lots of people and animals on the big public square. There are several things to discover and wonderful places to hide …
‘In this picture I discovered six really good hiding places. See if you can find me.
