Bären sind klasse. Der von Philip Waechter sowieso. Er findet das Leben schön und sein Herz ist groß. Aber um wirklich glücklich zu sein, braucht auch er einen Freund, zu dem er sagen kann: "Schön, dass du da bist!" Ein bezauberndes Geschenkbuch, witzig und ein bisschen weise.

Bären sind den Menschen, wie wir wissen, nicht ganz unähnlich. Dieser Bär ist schön und toll und legt Wert auf ein gepflegtes Äußeres. Er erfreut sich an den kleinen Dingen des Lebens, aber natürlich auch an den großen, und er ist für jeden Spaß zu haben. Und, das Schönste, er ist auch schlau. Manchmal spürt er, dass er etwas ganz Besonderes ist. Trotzdem gibt es manchmal Tage, an denen er sich schrecklich einsam fühlt. Und er macht sich schleunigst auf den Weg und läuft und läuft zu dir - "Schön, dass du da bist!"
Mit herzhafter Ironie und witzigem Blick erzählt Philip Waechter eine ganz einfache Geschichte auf waechtersche und ganz unübertreffliche Weise.

This is a happy little feel-good book about learning to love yourself.

Psst! The bear is very cute.

At first it seemed pretentious, but the ending was what made it worth mentioning.

Щом я прочетох на Панаира на книгата, много се усмиихнах и веднага я купих на моето мило меченце, дето тичам към него, за да я прочетем заедно! Сладка и хубава, но й липсва ритмика и не е съвсем изпипана. Напр. след три четения от начало докрай разбрах, че има една последна страница.

Аз съм красив, говоря няколко езика, харесват ме и съм в центъра на компанията. Но понякога се чувствам сам и тогава не ми остава друго освен да тичам... към теб. Толкова мила и минималистична история.

This is one of my favorite books because of it's sentimental value to me. My sister bought me this book after my first husband left me, and I lost my home. I was very depressed and couldn't find any value in myself.

Every time I look at this book, it reminds me of my sister and the valuable human she is, and the value she wanted me to see in myself.

It's rare that I cry at a book that is supposed to be for kids, but this hit all the right chords with me. It takes less than 10 minutes to read, and a lifetime to learn its lessons.

Jako lijepa, kratka, inspirativna slikovnica!
Osnažuje djecu da vole sebe. Ujedno, daje im do znanja kako imaju osobu kojoj se mogu obratiti u trenucima kada se osjećaju loše.
Kratko i slatko! Divno.

Con creer en nosotros, amarnos, apreciarnos, ganamos un montón, pero siempre es muy muy lindo tener esa persona que nos ama y abraza, esa persona que se convierte en hogar

Un libro que está escrito para niños, pero en realidad es para cualquiera. Sin ninguna pretensión de ser una obra maestra de la literatura infantil logra llegar al corazón de cada uno de sus lectores. Uno de esos libros que siempre caerá bien si pretende regalarle algo a quien no guste mucho de leer, o simplemente si desea hacer un obsequio a esos que hasta ahora aprenden a leer, un excelente cuento con la mejor de las moralejas.

Um livro admirável que, com humor, nos fala da identidade e da importância da amizade.
Trata-se de um álbum cuja leitura se recomenda aos mais novos, mas também aos mediadores adultos.
Existe edição portuguesa da Gatafunho: www.gatafunho.squarespace.com
