'Here is another enchanting seasonal tale about Pippa and Pelle
from German author and illustrator Daniela Drescher. The delicate
watercolour illustrations are full of vibrant colour that bring
spring vividly to life.'
-- Outside in World
'In gentle, child-friendly language, Pippa and Pelle express a
loving relationship with the earth -- their garden is visited by
insects (''our small friends'') and they happily share their
abundant strawberries with the snails. The pencil and watercolour
illustrations, showing their garden blooming with flowers and
fruit, are bright and joyous... A simple and lovely celebration of
nature in springtime.'

illustrations which are a feast for the senses.[The book is] of
course, very robust and ideal for early childhood settings!'
