Synopsis

Bibi and Franka are friends who enjoy discussing and investigating all kinds of things. One day, their minds turn to legs. Why is it that humans have two legs but a dog, who is smaller, has four? And why do beetles, which are smaller than dogs, have a total of six, and even tinier spiders have eight? Could it really be true that the smaller you are, the more legs you have? In the end, the girls realize that although it might be neat to have several legs, it’s also nice to just have two – like when it comes time to tie your shoes!
