In "Double Birthday!" Miko is excited about receiving presents, but wonders about his friend Mimiki. (Mimiki is apparently a stuffed mouse, but he's real to Miko.) He learns that Mimiki's birthday is the same day that his is and decides he wants to share his presents with Mimiki. He tries to give him a present, but each one has problems --- for example, he offers Mimiki a cassette recorder, but Mimiki just sits there, "too embarrassed to sing." Eventually, Miko realizes a great way in which he can share with hsi friend. Each page is softly and warmly illustrated. The story is simple but interesting and fun and teaches a nice lesson. The "Miko" series doesn't seem to have caught on greatly yet, but this German import is a true gem.
