Nur einen kurzen Moment wird es aus den Augen gelassen, da beginnt ein großes Abenteuer: Der Kinderwagen segelt aufs Meer – zusammen mit den Lieblingsspielsachen der großen Schwester.

Ein riesiger Fisch bringt die Besatzung in Bedrängnis – und dennoch geht alles gut aus: Das Baby kommt zurück, sicher und geborgen. Ein rhythmischer Text, ungemein abwechslungsreiche Bilder und eine überaus spannende Geschichte lassen Kinder beim Zuhören den Atem anhalten. Und ganz sicher möchten sie dieses Buch wieder und wieder anschauen und vorgelesen bekommen.
