The elephant is grateful to the other animals for making him a new bed, and the tiger beetle, who lives in the middle of the desert, thanks the rain for pelting down. The sparrow writes a letter of thanks in the sand, and the cricket appreciates the frog’s croaking lessons. ‘Thank you’ can be heard everywhere in the forest: for all the birthday presents and for all the help the animals give each other.

With Thank You, Toon Tellegen has collected his most beautiful stories for everyone who has someone to thank.
