Children’s Books (Ages 2 and up) € 8,50 All rights available Pagna Verlag mick and mack birthday detectives Lissy Kramer Illustrated by: Dorothea Ackroyd “Why shouldn’t dogs have birthday parties too?“ thinks Mum. And for Mick and Mack’s second doggy birthday, she organises a scavenger hunt through the town. “And who are we going to invite?“ she asks Lukas and Mia. Well, that’s an easy question: Mick and Mack’s four best doggy friends: Tipsi, Oscar, August the Strong, and Darling, along with their owners. There’s a big birthday cake for Mick and Mack, just like at any birthday party. And then the fun with the puzzles begins—in two teams. For the first riddle, they charge into the butchers; then they rummage through a second-hand shop and go for a splash in the big fountain in front of the town hall. What a good thing that all that shaggy fur can be dried quickly under the hood driers at the hairdresser’s. The final riddle takes the lively group to the market. But when Oscar discovers a mouse and knocks over the market stall filled with oranges, they have to turn tail and run off in a hurry. In the end, everyone gets some well-earned sausages from the barbecue. Children’s Books (Ages 3 and up) € 12,90 All rights available Ravensburger Buchverlag Otto Maier GmbH Why? Why?
