Summary
This big-hearted picture book captures the warmth and fun of a spontaneous summer's day with friends， where one lovely activity leads to another until they all go back home to bake a cake （two cakes！） to finish。
Raccoon decides to bake an apple cake。 But he has no eggs， so visits his friend Fox， who needs a ladder to mend the roof。 Badger will have one， but he needs help too， so they set off to find Bear。 They stroll through meadows， meet up with Crow， nibble blackberries and find Bear fishing at the river。 Soon the five friends are having the best day out--the sun shining on their fur， fishing， swimming， picnic and finally home to bake the cake--two cakes， because bears have big appetites。
A Perfect Wonderful Day with Friends is a picture book to instantly capture the heart。 Laconic narration， funny dialogue， and exquisite illustrations tell the story of a carefree childhood day。
Philip Waechter is one of Germany's leading children's author/illustrators with a beautifully classic illustration style。

I'm not the most spontaneous person since I tend to prefer having everything planned out beforehand。 But even I can see the delights in the "perfect wonderful day" described in this picture book。 When Raccoon can't find any other way to deal with his doldrums， he decides baking an apple cake might suffice。 However， since he has no eggs， he heads to Fox's house to borrow some。 Fox is busy with roof repairs， but they are slow going since he has no ladder and is balanced precariously on various cha I'm not the most spontaneous person since I tend to prefer having everything planned out beforehand。 But even I can see the delights in the "perfect wonderful day" described in this picture book。 When Raccoon can't find any other way to deal with his doldrums， he decides baking an apple cake might suffice。 However， since he has no eggs， he heads to Fox's house to borrow some。 Fox is busy with roof repairs， but they are slow going since he has no ladder and is balanced precariously on various chairs and tables。 Off they go to Badger's to borrow what is needed。 He's preoccupied with a crossword puzzle， and they head to Bear's for a solution。 Eventually， the friends are joined by Crow， and they spend the day fishing and swimming and just enjoying each other's company。 All those planned tasks are left until the end of the day when all of the friends join in helping each other and rewarding themselves with yummy baked goods。 With its softly-colored illustrations showing the personality of each animal and their activities， this picture book is a gentle reminder to slow down and enjoy what life has to offer or stop and smell the roses in other words。 There's a sweet earnestness about the text and images and the notion that there is delight in the unexpected。 Eventually， that work will get done。 Yes， that's true although rather hard for someone like me to believe。 。。。more
