The little snail house Monika and her friends have in the garden of the narrator is much to discover and experience. Good for kids and with much attention to detail, the garden world is explained, aroused curiosity about the nature and many, many "why's" "because it" turns into. Who now but a dry lesson expected after the young (and older) audiences are no longer receptive, mistaken. With wit earthworm Schorsch loosens the scientific explanations on, we learn along the way about friendship, greed and envy, and how you can console his friend if he needs but no legs.
Beautifully for children as for parents on long road trips and sleepless nights.
