What we need now is an expert:
Fluffily soft, of stature,
and preferably of a cheerful nature. 

Paul has the prettiest garden 
With the juiciest tomatoes
The spiciest chilli, the plumpest grapes
Pumpkins so big you can scarcely believe.

But wait, where are all the radishes today?
Oh, darling Lieschen!
The beds are empty, the trees bare
And Paul’s face as white as a sheet.

Paul is a passionate gardener. Everything is verdant and blooming and aromatic: Tomorrow is harvest day. But when Paul goes into his garden the next day, everything has gone! He wants to find the thief at once, and a major surprise awaits.

Adventure! High jinks! Tales so tall: This book’s truly got it all!

A big book about best friends: The complete Bear &Hippo anthology is finally here. This picture book contains all five beloved stories about our two animal friends:

Bear & Hippo on Holiday
Bear & Hippo in the Snow
Bear & Hippo Celebrate a Birthday
Bear Loves Hippo
Bear & Hippo Tidy Up

With all the witty rhymes and cheerful illustrations by the Meyer brothers in a new format and design.

Bear and Hippo, good morning,
it’s finally winter, let’s go tobogganing! 

Witty. Pretty. Genius.

Things are getting serious at Bear and Hippo’s house: you can hardly put a foot down in the playroom anymore, and it’s impossible to find anything. It’s time to tidy up – properly. The two friends move things around and clear them away, stack and sort until everything is immaculate. So, what now? A little jigsaw puzzle, maybe? Bit more playing with the building blocks?
And hey presto, chaos reigns again!

Bear and Hippo
dear, oh dear!
What on earth
did happen here?

Bear and Hippo
Oh, the bother
They can hardly
find each other

But our friends
they work all day
they stack and stow
and pack away

The final toy
into the chest
Now there is order
there is rest.

Bedtime is often anything but peaceful – there’s still so much to do and to tell, so much that’s happened during the day, and so much to catch the attention of little readers. Luckily, the panda feels exactly the same way, making this book the perfect companion for the daily bedtime ritual.

Our dear little Panda has had quite the day:
There was lots of adventure and laughter and play.

And now our Panda is all tuckered out,
So he brushes his teeth
and he washes his snout.

Picks his favourite pillow,
the one that’s bright red,
And finally snuggles himself into bed.

With his most beloved plushie
and also his blankie
In the hopes that tomorrow
he won’t wake up cranky.

Bear and Hippo are the very best of friends. They’re ready for any adventure together. All the better if they make new friends along the way! This time they’re going on holiday, heading for the sun with a caravan and a tent.

The shortest read-aloud story in the world tells what they are up to.

Witty. Rhyming. Genius.

Bear and Hippo
Oh, how lovely!
A birthday
But whose can it be?

The pool is closed when it’s time for a paddle,
ice cream falls down and turns to a puddle.
The newt is in a grumpy mood,
and the crocodile forgets to smile.

All the animals are blue today,
full of sadness and sorrow.
Will it get better? Not today,
maybe tomorrow!

Before there’s too much drama with the llama, the next adventure for the little panda’s animal gang is waiting around the corner.

A hilarious and wonderfully illustrated read-aloud book.

Bear and Hippo are the best of friends. Together they go on awesome adventures and have loads of fun. And even though they’re very different, they’re devoted to each other. A tribute to friendship and a celebration of being different. 

Hippo loves 
Nice gentle sounds 
Big fat books 
And pretty towns 

Only one thing 
Can compare: 
More than all that 
He loves Bear 

Bear loves stuff that’s 
Super crazy 
Loud and fast and 
Oopsie-daisy 

Bear loves that 
From head to paw 
But Hippo 
He loves even more
