It is Lisa’s birthday. At last - a mountain of colourful packages! Burning with curiosity, she unpacks them all - but what is that? A crazy chicken! And what’s rattling in the next box? What a surprise! A jolly baby is grinning at her. But the sweet baby turns out to be a little pest. Lisa now doesn’t have a moment for herself any more. She tries everything to calm the small wild thing down, but the baby does what babies do. The baby screams, parps, pees, poops and still wants to be entertained. But the more Lisa tries, the more that goes wrong. What a beautiful mess!
