Summer, Sun and a Water Thief?

Rhymed picture book in English for children from the age of four

A cheerful story about community, sharing and a whole lot of – splash! – water fun!


The animals happily come to their pond to drink or wash or play,
But all of them get a terrible shock: the water’s gone away!
Who could have stolen a pondful of water? It seems beyond belief.
So Tom and Theo set out on the trail. Will they find the thief?

Translating verse is a challenge
He simply loves to meet,
So translating Sabine Praml's book
Was an extra special treat.
