LATTE IGEL UND DER MAGISCHE WASSERSTEIN

Two rivals set out on a daring adventure – and two friends come back with their mission accomplished.

In the forest where hedgehog girl Latte lives, the last lake has dried out and plants and animals are suffering from a terrible drought. The last hope is the magic waterstone – but it was stolen years ago by the terrifying bear king! Only Latte has the courage to venture out to the bear kingdom – or so she thinks. But when she realizes that Tjum, the shy squirrel boy, has set out on the same mission, she is determined to prove he doesn’t stand a chance. But the two young heroes can only save the forest if they stick together...
