This fifth disc from the second series of Latabær contains two new episodes as well as a selection of music from the episodes. The first episode, "Unexpected Birthday Gift", tells the story of when Glanni builds a huge wall and divides Latabær in two so that the kids can no longer play together. Then the Sports Elf passes after he eats one of Glanni's sugar apples, so now good advice is expensive for the kids. The other episode "Best Friends" tells the story of Solla creating a nice playground for her friends, but Glanna manages to lure them away. Therefore, it is up to Solla to save them from Glanni and his plans. In addition to these episodes, there are 29 songs that have been heard in the episodes and you can sing along.
