Content
Anyone who knows Rabbit Hibiscus and his friends Maxi Mouse and Tom Bear knows that the three of them are always getting into trouble – this time on the soccer pitch. First their kits cause confusion, then they realize that a mouse as goalie and a bear in attack are not an ideal combination, and finally there's a drop goal – literally. But once they have settled into their roles, things go pretty smoothly and the team around Hibiscus and Co. even makes it to the final. It's now or never: let's go, Hibiscus, score a goal! This funny soccer adventure featuring the three popular picture book heroes will not only delight children. The many funny scenes, soccer jokes, puns and allusions will make adult soccer fans smile as well, making reading it aloud twice as fun!
