The success of GEOLINO encouraged the editorial team to offer its readers the additional monothematic GEOLINO EXTRA magazine which is now being published six times a year. Geared towards an older target group than GEOLINO, the GEOLINO EXTRA issues are designed to narrow the gap between GEOLINO and its parent magazine GEO. The objective is to provide young readers with all the interesting facts there are about a specific topic.

GEOLINO EXTRA is bringing its magazines on the market as eMags in irregular intervals. Each of the eMags is based on a print magazine, and includes many additional child-friendly features. For example, a read-aloud function for all texts, zoomable pictures and the text view mode, in which the font size can be customized.
One of the topics: "Die Geschichte Deutschlands – Vom Kaiserreich bis heute" (The history of Germany - From Empire to the present day). It tells the history of Germany from different perspectives, starting in 1871 with the German Empire. The following five chapters chart the German history up to the present day - almost 150 years of ups and downs.
In the issue "Säugetiere" (Mammals) the GEOLINO eMag gets close to koalas, lions and co. You can find large photo galleries, thrilling reportages and many vivid animal portraits from dolphins, chimpanzees, kangaroos and many other mammals.
