Congratulations, Bear!

It’s Bear’s birthday and he’s eagerly awaiting his guests, because he desperately wants …

Ding-dong! Here they come, one after the other: Crocodile, Goose, Pig, Cat, Dog. And each guest brings a present – but none of them is what he hoped for. Ding-dong! The mouse is late. What will she bring?

Susanne Strasser’s picture book story plays cleverly and humorously with the suspense surrounding the birthday wish. From the tingling anticipation to the fear of disappointment to the wonderful surprise at the end. And last but not least, it tells of the joy of giving!
