The Animals of Strangewood. Dung Strike – vol. 1

Adventure
Fairy tales
Humorous

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

In Strambosco, everything is the opposite of everything, as we know, and the animals that live there are truly odd. Here is the owl afraid of the dark, the squirrel with vertigo, a nearsighted hawk, and a raccoon. But today, the situation is serious, and there is an investigation to be done: who has hidden traps in the Puntacqua clearing, in the Fetid Swamps, on the path near Frizzolago, and who knows where else? If there’s a need to chase off a shady poacher, the oddball gang from Strambosco is ready. Even to use… extremely stinky weapons. Animalazzi, attack!

  • 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.
