    Very indifferent plot, with messages contrary to what is desired. The bear resorts to lies to avoid the "annoying" duck (he denies having ingredients for cookies and on the last page he is making cookies by himself), the duck does the same to gain the bear's attention ("I hurt my beak").

    Highly advertised series. I was waiting for my niece to grow up a bit to buy them. I don't think it has particularly interesting or entertaining text. Beautiful illustrations though

    The bear is sleepy while his neighbor, the duck, has insomnia.
    The duck knocks on the bear's door in the middle of the night and invades his house to play. The second time, he wakes him up by tapping on the window to make cookies. The third time, and more annoyingly, he uses the "emergency keys" he has and wakes him up by climbing onto his bed. I don't know what age group it is intended for, but it is not suitable for young children aged 3-4 years.
    Note: I think it is a book for parents who identify with the bear

    If both parents do it with enthusiasm, the little one will laugh with the annoying duck. Discover the hidden bad talent within you and through this bad talent, the even worse bond you have with your partner. You can also add your own words.

  • Very indifferent plot, with messages contrary to what is desired. The bear resorts to lies to avoid the "annoying" duck (he denies having ingredients for cookies and on the last page he is making cookies by himself), the duck does the same to gain the bear's attention ("I hurt my beak").

  • very very mediocre.. I don't understand the hype.
    no plot, tiring, rude, no deeper meaning.

  • I give this rating because while the child liked it, I did not. Very simple without any special content.

  • Highly advertised series. I was waiting for my niece to grow up a bit to buy them. I don't think it has particularly interesting or entertaining text. Beautiful illustrations though

  • The bear is sleepy while his neighbor, the duck, has insomnia.
    The duck knocks on the bear's door in the middle of the night and invades his house to play. The second time, he wakes him up by tapping on the window to make cookies. The third time, and more annoyingly, he uses the "emergency keys" he has and wakes him up by climbing onto his bed. I don't know what age group it is intended for, but it is not suitable for young children aged 3-4 years.
    Note: I think it is a book for parents who identify with the bear
