Gut, dass die Maus - klein, grau und mit blitzenden Augen - ihn besucht. Sie ist sich sicher, das richtige Heilmittel für den alten Bären zu haben. Ob es ihr wirklich gelingt, ihn wieder auf die Beine zu bringen?

Dressed up as a queen, a little girl has some endearing and funny audiences with two most obliging subjects — her mother and father. When Rose wakes up one morning feeling royal, she dons her necklaces, bracelets, and crown. Soon the Queen of France emerges to survey her domain, disapproving of Rose’s mother’s thorny gardening choices and asking Rose’s father where the Royal Physician may be found. The odd thing is, when Rose returns to look for the Queen of France, she’s nowhere to be seen. And when the imperious queen comes back, she’s curious to know what Rose’s parents would think if she traded places with their little girl? With charming illustrations by Kady MacDonald Denton and a humorous tale by Tim Wadham, here is a sweet homage to the easy affection between parents and an imaginative child.
