When Mumps wakes from his winter sleep this year, everything is different: The Snowy Owl awaits him this time; she’s been his friend since Christmas. A Friend for the Spring! Mumps is happy. The Snowy Owl is very young still and comes up with lots of nonsense like: Rolling a camel into the snow with a snow globe, sledging down the hill in a bathtub, taking a shower under a melting icicle and finally celebrating a huge Spring party.
With the lively-whimsical Snowy Owl and the diffident Mumps Annette Herzog has created two heart-warming characters that are beautifully staged by Ingrid and Dieter Schubert. At the end the reader almost wishes to be friends with Mumps and the Snowy Owl him-/herself, including joining the Spring party.
