In this book by the classic of Austrian children's literature, Christine Nöstlinger, you will find a new batch of stories about Franz, who is already eight years old. Franz has a big problem: it has become impossible to communicate with Gabi, his best friend! For some time now, she can only talk about one thing - about the “baby” her mother is expecting. The child has not yet been born, and Franz is already terribly jealous. What if Gabi spends all her time with the baby and forgets about him? But Gabi, it turns out, is also very worried: what if her parents stop paying attention to her when another child appears in the family? How then? And then the cherished day comes: mom and dad are going to the hospital, the baby is about to be born, Gabi and Franz don’t sleep all night, and no one knows what will happen next...
