Mariettas bester Freund: Marietta hat einen wunderbaren Freund, der ihr jeden Wunsch von den Lippen abliest. Ein bisschen verwöhnt ist sie zwar schon, die niedliche Kleine, und so kann es geschehen, dass der Bär ewig lange warten muss, bis sie endlich ihren Fahrradausflug starten können, denn erst muss sie noch ihre Brille suchen, dann fehlt der Hut, der Schal, die Sonnencreme und der Mückenspray. Mit einer Bärengeduld lässt er sich herumkommandieren. Sogar wenn sie schlechte Laune hat, schafft er es, sie wieder zum Lachen zu bringen. Natürlich streiten sie sich ab und zu, aber die Versöhnung bleibt glücklicherweise nie aus, dann wird gemeinsam Rumba und Walzer getanzt. Na, so einen lieben Freund wünscht sich wohl manches kleine Mädchen, das vielleicht ebenso starrköpfig ist wie Marietta. Mit viel Herzlichkeit wird diese Geschichte um Freundschaft und Konfliktelösen erzählt, wobei der gutmütige Bär eine eher unterwürfige, aber bewundernswert geduldige Rolle spielt. Die heiter präsentierten Bilder versetzen den fünf Streitgeschichten, die dennoch zum Nachdenken anregen sollen, einen humorvollen Anstrich. Ab 4 Jahren, ****, Silvia Zanetti.
