The Animals of Strangewood. A nappy for stinky – vol. 4

Adventure

Fairy tales

Humorous

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

The wild boar Setolo is filing his hooves when he freezes in fear: a loud noise echoes through the forest, enough to make the fur on your back stand up! Setolo and his animal friends muster up the courage and, reaching the densest and darkest part of Strambosco, discover that some trees have vanished into thin air… Could it be a tree-eating monster? There’s no time to lose, they need to investigate. Even at the risk of messing up their hair!

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.
