Product Description
by Géraldine Collet (Author), Hervé Le Goff (Illustrator)
In the savanna the animals all live in harmony. A very small but hardworking dung beetle works diligently to carefully pick up and roll the droppings he finds to keep the ecosystem clean. The elephant, the ostrich, and the monkeys all mock and ridicule him. Since the dung beetle is intelligent and cautious, he does not reply to their taunts. His only advocate, the fly, defends him and urges him to take action and talk to the king. But what a disappointment there too; instead of supporting him, the lion agrees with the others and then chases him away with a roar. The dung beetle is then faced with a big decision that is destined to change the savanna itself!
- The smart and humble dung beetle teaches the importance of everyone's role and the job they play.
- Parents and young readers alike will be hooked first by the title and second by the hero of the story, an underappreciated dung beetle.
Join this little dung beetle as he leaves this corner of the savanna for a new place where his kindness and bravery are saluted, and find out what happens to the kingdom he leaves behind.
