Hermann the Tiger is annoyed: all the show-offs in this zoo! But when an egg falls right in front of him, the old grump becomes quite gentle. Hermann starts to raise, feed, and care for the little bird. The small bird feels well protected by his striped dad. The strong tiger awakens unexpected strengths in him. Is the little one taking on too much? Hermann realizes he needs to speak frankly with him; but not today. Nele Brönner won the Serafina Newcomer Award in 2015 with her first picture book "Affenfalle." With expressive illustrations and fine humor, she tells the story of a very contrasting pair and about growing up and being brave.
