Translated by Rosemary Lanning.
Suspected of pinching some of Grandpa's honey, Max and Molly turn detective to unmask the real thief and restore grumpy Grandpa's usual fun-loving spirit. A touch of wordplay (bee-lieve, beeline, sticky honey business) enlivens the thin mystery. Obrist's illustrations, full of anthropomorphic bears, closely follow the narrative, making this book a suitable choice for newly independent readers.
