A humorous bedtime story—now refreshed!It's time for these little squirrels to go to bed! Mick, Mack, and Molly, the three adorable squirrel siblings, are back in action—but not when they should be. This time, they are up and out in the middle of the night. After all, the owl children are wide-awake and playing. So why can’t squirrel children stay up late and play, too?Every child who has ever begged to stay up late will understand just how the young squirrels feel. Children will relish every minute of this late night adventure.“Iwamura’s adorable animals are well-matched by both his muted palette and his gentle story.

This unpretentious story with lovely art and endearing animals will be enjoyed by young children.” — School Library Journal

Familie Maus trifft sich am Fluss, weil heut gewaschen werden muss. Es sind gewiss nicht wenig Sachen, die vierzehn Mäuse schmutzig machen. Doch an diesem heißen Tag ist Waschen keine große Plag.

Fips sagt: Wir haben Waschtag bloß! Und Kessy wird ein bisschen bange: Wir stören dich bestimmt nicht lange!
