The heroes of Barbro Lindgren's cheerful and captivating fairytale trilogy continue to invent games and amusements. On Friday, they anxiously await the arrival of the Bach Cork—an ordinary champagne cork. Roundabout is especially eager, considering Bach her fiancé. Muskrat composes a poem for the occasion, while the Boy finds a teddy bear—tiny Speckle, who immediately captivates not only the old dog, Red, but also Uncle Bear, who is immersed in compiling his family tree.
