The Animals of Strangewood. A warm-blooded snake – vol. 5

Adventure
Fairy tales
Humorous

In Strangewood, everything is the opposite of everything, and oddities are the norm.

It’s midsummer when a strange boa constrictor, abandoned by its owner, shows up in Strambosco. His name is Celsius, and he’s the only cold-blooded snake in the world. He absolutely needs to cool off during the hot days, and the oddball animal gang will try everything to help him, from soaking in cold water to indulging in a feast of shaved ice. Nothing works. The solution might be that the bees fan him, but what will they want in return from Vertigo, Setolo, Puz, and Ray?

  • Lots of laughs (all while learning a lot about nature).
  • At the end of each story, either dizzy the squirrel or ray the owl describes the real characteristics of the animals outside
    strangewood.
