The Animals of Strangewood. Dishevelled bristle – vol. 3

Adventure

Fairy tales

Humorous

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

So many oddities in Strambosco! The dormouse Nocetto has chocolate-covered whiskers, the owl Ray is eating chips, and the bear Ursus has prepared a banana infusion… but there are no banana trees in Strambosco! And that’s not all: the spider Clava uses glue to catch his prey, and little Puz the bear is wandering around in a terribly stinky diaper! All the clues lead to the Fetid Swamps: the only thing left to do is hold our noses and get to the bottom of this mystery…

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.
