When it comes time for the three little wolves to go out into the world and build themselves a house, their mother warns them to beware the big bad pig. But the little wolves' increasingly sturdy dwellings are no match for the persistent porker, who has more up his sleeve than huffing and puffing. It takes a chance encounter with a flamingo pushing a wheelbarrow full of flowers to provide a surprising and satisfying solution to the little wolves' housing crisis.

Il faut essayer plusieurs paires avant de trouver les baskets idéales.
Auch ich werde gross: Der kleine Junge lebt mit seiner Mama, einem Hundebaby und ein paar Küken auf dem Lande. Er freut sich über alles, was wächst: die Knospen an den Bäumen, die Frühlingsblumen, die Küken, und natürlich sein Hundebaby. Doch im nächsten Frühling stellt er fest, dass alles gewachsen ist, ausser ihm; er scheint gleich gross geblieben zu sein. Mama erklärt ihm, dass Tiere und Pflanzen eben schneller wachsen. Kritisch und ungeduldig betrachtet sich der kleine Junge im Spiegel und fängt an zu zweifeln. Ob er wohl immer so klein bleibt? Als er aber im nächsten Herbst die letztjährigen Winterkleider anprobiert, stellt er freudig fest, dass sie ihm alle zu klein geworden sind. Die Hosen kneifen, und die Jackenärmel sind zu kurz. Tatsächlich, er ist gewachsen. Viele Kinder leiden an ihrem verzögerten Wachstum und sehnen sich danach, endlich gross zu werden. Das in den 1940-ger Jahren getextete heute eher altmodisch wirkende Bilderbuch setzt sich durch aussagekräftige, feinfühlig bebilderte Texte behutsam mit diesem Problem auseinander und führt gleichzeitig durch alle Jahreszeiten auf dem Lande. Ab 3 Jahren, ***, Silvia Zanetti.
