- Christmas through the Sat’s eyes: familiar festive traditions become wonderfully strange when he encounters Christmas for the very first time.
- Paul Maar’s characteristic wordplay finds the perfect festive setting, with Christmas songs and rhymes giving the Sat plenty of opportunities to play to his strengths.

It’s the Sat’s first Christmas with Mr Bashful. In fact, it’s his first Christmas ever! And unsurprisingly, human festive customs leave him with plenty of questions. Who are those little winged creatures that supposedly float around in the sky? Why is Mr Bashful suddenly keeping so many secrets when the Sat is desperate to know what is going on? And why do people bring trees into their sitting rooms when they spend the rest of the year outside? Fortunately, Christmas involves plenty of singing and rhyming, and that is something the Sat knows all about. With his irrepressible curiosity and distinctive way of looking at the human world, the familiar traditions of Christmas become a source of playful confusion and festive fun.

Mr Bashful has a strange week: on Sunday the sun shines, on Monday Mr Mon arrives, on Tuesday he has duty, Wednesday is the middle of the week, on Thursday it thunders, and on Friday he has his free day... So what could possibly happen on Saturday? Saturday, of course, is when the Sat arrives. This unusual, cheeky creature with a trunk and peculiar spots calls Mr Bashful "Papa" and wants to stay with him – and Mr Bashful is anything but thrilled at first. But it quickly becomes clear: the Sat brings chaos, but also an enormous amount of fun...

A beloved children’s classic, brought to life in Nina Dulleck’s vibrant, contemporary illustrations—perfect for readers aged 7 and up.
Sometimes Mr Pocketbeer is far from sure whether it really was the best of all wishes to have the Sat live with him forever. After all, the Sat has lost all the dots on his face and can no longer grant wishes. All he is now is impertinent and greedy. And the fact that Mr Pocketbeer has fallen in love naturally doesn’t please the Sat at all. If only he still had some dots! But it’s not so easy at all this time, and in the end, everything turns out quite differently – with the dots and so on. In any case, Mr Pocketbeer finds himself in some pretty mad, chaotic situations until his heart’s desire is finally fulfilled and he manages, with the Sat’s help, to make another, this time final step towards independence. Another classic in the Sat series with new colour illustrations by the successful artist duo Paul Maar and Nina Dulleck. At once timeless and modern, with lots of humour in aid of greater open-mindedness and tolerance.
