Paws the brave puppy, Maurice the bad-tempered cat, Bamboo the warm-hearted dog, Rusty the strong wild boar and Hummer the busy bee are the characters of this storybook richly illustrated with cheerful pictures.

With perseverance, selflessness, hard work and helpfulness they overcome the obstacles one by one, while their captivating characters and entertaining adventures will unconsciously become a good childhood memory.
