There's something kinda cozy about this book. Part of a series of books for children about other children around the world. It was published by Silver Burdett Company in 1968. I believe this is the only one of the series that we have, probably because I came across it second hand and liked the illustrations.
Karl and the Clockmaker
Frederick J. Moffitt
illustrated by Fritz Kredel 1968
A pair of brothers are tasked with taking their broken cuckoo clock to the clockmaker who lives in the forest. Along the way they stop to eat their sausage and cheese and meet the forester of the Black Forest who keeps them from getting lost. It feels very old fashioned, even for 1968. And there's a handy glossary for understanding the German words that are sprinkled in.
