Oh no! The zoo is missing all its animals! Animal rights campaigners and activists freed them all! But how can we now show children what lions, monkeys and elephants, hippos, llamas and flamingos look like?
Luckily, there are plenty of dedicated parents and pensioners as well as employed and unemployed people willing to volunteer: The PEKiP-Group Oppum with bag and baggage. Hans Kopka, the handyman bringing along six hammers. And also Fritz Schurek, a retired funfair-boxer. They all climb into the enclosures, cages, and pools and give their all to replace the missing animals. Now all we need to do is find out who’s been replaced by whom…
The funny illustrations accompanied by four-line rhymes – the “riddle rhymes” – make this book incredibly fun to leaf through, read to somebody, or puzzle over. Children and grown-ups will certainly love it equally.
