Christmas With Thomas Müller

For Ages 6+

Thomas Müller, the Wortmann family teddy bear, is in serious trouble: During the family’s last-minute Christmas Eve shopping expedition, he loses them in Hamburg’s Karstadt department store. Then he gets beat up by a cab driver who realizes he’s trying to get a lift home to the suburbs without having the fare. And now he’s sitting in the middle of the abandoned city center of Hamburg by night, wet, frustrated, his fur matted, slowly freezing onto the edge of a fountain. And, as if that weren’t enough, a rather scary-looking cat also shows up…

A wonderful fairy tale about hope and hopelessness, frustration and friendship, home and the joys of unexpected rescue.
