For ages 3-9... Two best a little girl and her German grandfather plan a trip to the zoo. The little girl is excited because Opa turns everything into an adventure. Next we see the monkeys. Opa calls them Affen. He calls one by my name. It looks. We both start laughin'. Her expectations of fun quickly start to disappear due to unpleasant weather and uncooperative animals. However, wise old Opa manages to turn things around and save the day, just like always.

"Two best friends: a little girl and her German grandfather. Opa loves his granddaughter and enjoys sharing all things German with her, especially the German's favorite pastime of going for a good walk. The little girl loves her Opa and really enjoys their long walks together along with Opa's German mini-lessons. She wants to let her Opa know that the time they spend togther is very special to her...but she's just not sure how." --P. [4] of cover.
