About The Book
For young readers, an adorable take on responsibility and problem-solving!
Lisa has wanted a dog for so long, and she has left no stone unturned to convince her parents. But sometimes even the most reasonable arguments fall on deaf ears. And so Lisa comes up with an ingenious solution: She puts up a notice in the park and actually finds a four-legged friend who urgently needs to be taken out - his master is no longer good on foot, and the dachshund Rolfi is now struggling with weight problems. Lisa's persistence is rewarded - and that not only makes her happy, but everyone else too.
Bright and adorable artwork by Helga Bansch transforms a classic family topic into pure reading fun.
