The Ballad of Nessie Hardcover – Picture Book, May 3, 2011
Where the bagpipes play
Lives the creature called Nessie
…But it wasn’t always this way.
So begins the story of Nessie, the friendly Loch Ness monster who lives peacefully in a beautiful Scottish moor until one day, a developer named MacFroogle decides to build a mini-golf empire right on top of her home. Nessie roams the countryside in vain for a new place to live, and when she thinks all is lost, she begins to cry. She cries and cries and cries, until she sheds so many tears that she creates a new moor, providing a perfect home for her and her best friend, a duck named MacQuack. This charming jacketed gift book that retells the Disney Animation Studios short, The Ballad of Nessie, is sure to become an instant classic!

Ganz wie man es von Disney gewohnt ist!!
Auch die Verfilmung, die vor dem neuen "Winnie Puh" lief ist großartig!
