Eggs in Daycare! Mouse Helps Out

Mouse likes to help. The blackbird brings Mouse her eggs to look after. So do the bluetits, and then the woodpecker. Even the baby squirrels are allowed to come. The result is a colourful daycare centre.
There is a lot going on! But it’s not easy for Mouse to keep track of everything: There are worried parents with special requests and the young squirrels want to go home again…
And there’s this one egg that Mouse can’t remember who it belongs to. Has she made a mistake? What’s going on?

The domestic animals are enchantingly illustrated by Kathrin Schärer, whose style is realistic while also giving the characters a cute appearance with human traits. […] A successful reading pleasure for young and old alike!” – Martina Leinweber, Buchwegweiser.com
“A small tribute to all the daycare teachers who look after our children so that we parents can relax and enjoy ourselves. A story full of warmth and humor from the well-established master duo Pauli/Schärer.” – Anna Morlinghaus, Krumulus
“The colourful adventure of kindergarten is presented here in all its facets—truly exciting, but also wonderful, because not only does a gifted teacher keep the little gang together, but all the children are also allowed to help enthusiastically. In the end, the parents are amazed and just as happy as their children.” – Leanders Lieblinge, presented and recommended by Gabriele Hoffmann, LeseLeben
