Big Bear Stickyhead Builds
Rights sold: Japanese
Big Bear Stickyhead is related to all of the world’s wisest bears: Winnie the Pooh, Little Bear, Urpo and Turpo and Paddington. He is always ready to contemplate both the small and great problems of life and to invent imaginative solutions to them.
Hannele Huovi’s Big Bear Stickyhead returns in a new, hilarious story with delectable illustration by Mika Launis. This time Big Bear Stickyhead has taken on a building project, because his old house is falling in on itself due to Iiro the Moose banging his head against the wall of the house.
But what sort of house should he build? Tamppi the Squirrel thinks that a moss house is best of all, Veikko the Hedgehog suggests a pile of leaves and Iiro the Moose a brick house. However, Big Bear Stickyhead decides on a log house. When some bird-watchers show up in the forest and hang up some ready-made bird boxes, Stickyhead begins to wonder if it would be possible to take a lesson from these boxes and build a bear box.
