Es ist Frühling im Wald und die Sonne lacht, doch Eichhörnchen Piet ist traurig: Die Nadeln der alten Kiefer piksen so sehr. Da schlägt ihm Förster Peter vor, in der alten Buche zu wohnen. Piet zieht um und lernt seine neue Wohnstätte kennen – durch alle Jahreszeiten hindurch. Auf kindgerechte und liebevolle Art erklärt Förster und Naturschützer Peter Wohlleben, wie sich ein Laubbaum im Laufe eines Jahres verändert. Wissenschaftlich fundiert und dennoch wundervoll erzählt.

Obwohl Fritzi längst schlafen sollte, ist das kleine Wildschweinmädchen gar nicht müde. Und überhaupt ist es ja noch nicht mal richtig dunkel! Also krabbelt Fritzi aus der Brombeerhecke und tapst neugierig in den Wald. Auf ihrem Spaziergang bemerkt Fritzi, dass jedes Tier ganz unterschiedlich schläft: Das Reh legt sich alleine in eine Kuhle auf den Waldboden, der Specht gähnt hoch oben im Baum und die Fledermäuse schlummern kopfüber hängend. Das sieht aber nicht sehr gemütlich aus ... Als der Mond schon hell leuchtet, kehrt Fritzi zur Brombeerhecke zurück. Ihre Geschwister und Eltern liegen eng zusammengekuschelt auf dem weichen Moos. Das ist bestimmt bequem! Also schmiegt sich das kleine Wildschweinmädchen fest an seine Familie und ganz langsam fallen ihm die Augen zu. Gute Nacht, Fritzi!
