Susanne Straßer
Come On and Slide, Badger!
Badger wants to slide.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, he’s already at the top.
Oh, that’s high! Badger doesn’t slide.
How Susanne Straßer puts her anxious badger at the top of the slide, how she makes the animals of all weight classes trudge, tap, tap and wait patiently on the ladder, and how the funny zoo finally gets to slide – that’s real playground life, enchantingly staged for the little ones!
