Children's Comic Book Reading | Ages 4 and up
“Bärbeiß” is now written on the door sign of the old raccoon house. Out of curiosity, the village community pays a visit to their new neighbor—led by the ever-cheerful Tingeli. But Bärbeiß isn’t much of a fan of friendship: “Muddy rain puddles. Damp fog. Stale fish. A slimy cough!” With a slam of the door, he ends the visit. Tingeli, however, doesn’t give up and tries to win over the grumpy loner with kindness. But Bärbeiß won’t let anyone spoil his bad mood.
