Puppies, kittens and babies galore in this fun lift-the-flap book from a multi-award-winning partnership.

First the dog got fatter and fatter, then the cat got fatter and fatter. Suddenly there were puppies and kittens all over the house. But when Mom starts getting fatter and fatter -- will the house be filled with babies? You bet!

Am Freitag besuchte der kleine Bär immer seinen Opa. Die beiden gingen in Opas Garten, kletterten zum Baumhaus hinauf, schauten die große weite Welt an, und Opa erzählte eine Geschichte. Und der kleine Bär war so froh, wie ein kleiner Bär nur sein kann. Doch dann kam Opa ins Krankenhaus. Am Freitag besuchte ihn der kleine Bär. Und weil Opa so müde war, erzählte der kleine Bär ihm eine Geschichte. Aber als die Geschichte aus war, schlief Opa ganz tiel und fest, so tief und fest, wie man überhaupt nur schlafen kann. Ein wunderbares Bilderbuch von einer großen Freundschaft und einem großen Abschied. Fröhlich und traurig, zärtlich und voller Trost.

Whenever he is naughty, a young boy's mother threatens him with Mrs Cole, who appears to be a disreputable character living nearby in total chaos. One day he runs away from home and finds himself outside Mrs Cole's house. She invites him in and he discovers that Mrs Cole's noisy, kindly house is welcoming and warm and far from being frightening.

Told in the first person by two young boys, this story relates their identical experiences . . . with very different results. The text appears in the middle of the page, and two sets of pictures, above and below, show the same actions in two very different cultures: a small African village and a modern suburban setting. . . . The format makes this an interesting picture book. . . . Children will enjoy finding the similarities and differences for themselves.-- School Library Journal.
