Illustrated by Erika Dietzsch-Capelle
Helen Nicoll has adapted the text for the English version of this Pocket Bear which, from its question and answer format and closing sentence, seems to be intended primarily as a bedtime book to share with a young child. In it we see baby animals at play and asleep. The illustrations merit close study for there is much to look at in the detailed paintings besides the particular animals featured in the text opposite. The repeated pattern of the text offers support to learner readers who want to tackle the book for themselves.
