Paul and Anna Sausebier terribly want to have a pet. But their parents say No. They are not aware of this, however: Disguised on the carpet, under pillows, the chameleon Ottilie already lives with the family. Unnoticed and well hidden, sometimes dotted, sometimes mottled. Until something unexpected happens: The chameleon changes her colour to a green check pattern – and stays like that. Now she is visible! What will happen to her now? After all, the parents did not want a pet!? Do they have to give Ottilie away immediately? Animals only make a mess, don’t they…?!
A turbulent, affectionately told and funnily illustrated family story.
