Doch dann wünschte sich seine Frau einen Hasen. Und dabei blieb es nicht. Plötzlich fand sich Bob inmitten eines wahren Kleintierzoos wieder: das Haus und der Garten bevölkert von unzähligen Hasen, Papageien, Wellensittichen, Katzen, Enten, Gänsen, Tauben und Truthähnen. Und entgegen all seiner Instinkte wurde der Stadtmensch Bob zum wahren Landbewohner und Tierliebhaber. Ehrlich, witzig und bewegend erzählt Bob Tarte von den unterschiedlichen Charakteren und Eigenheiten der einzelnen Tiere, wie sie sein Leben auf den Kopf stellten und es dennoch schafften, sich gegen all seine Vorsätze in sein Herz zu schleichen.
