Karton oder nicht Karton? Eine dumme Frage!, findet der kleine Hase und beweist, dass ein einfacher Pappkarton alles sein kann: ein Rennauto zum Davonsausen, ein hoher Berg, auf den man steigen kann, ein Piratenschiff-Ausguck und sogar eine Weltraumrakete! Man muss es sich nur vorstellen können und der Phantasie freien Lauf lassen. Ist doch kinderleicht! Ein Bilderbuch zum Mitspielen - mit einem Hasen zum Verlieben!

Doch da ist es schon nicht mehr aufzuhalten. Und bald krakeelen auch die anderen Vögel alles mögliche, nur nicht: Gurr, Tschilp, Krächz und Piep.
