Translated by Charise Myngheer.
Illustrated by
Birte Muller.
A little girl who wonders what her teddy bear does while she's at school stays home and tries everything from pretending to be asleep to tempting him with honey to catch him at his games. Though the illustrations, punctuated with bold blocks of color, support the playfulness of this theme, the text, told in verse, is interrupted by awkward refrains between many of the stanzas.
