Description
They all want the gris-gris that will make them indestructible! Who will win?
A long time ago in the savannah, the rumor spread that Karamoko the sorcerer was able to make a magic necklace that made animals invincible. One after the other, the hyena, the hare, the lion, and the hippopotamus presented themselves at Karamoko's door. If the hare is no match, the hyena can do nothing against the claws of the lion, who himself is very impressed by the enormous mountain of steaming excrement left by the hippopotamus. Then comes the red-billed hornbill...
Who will end up getting the coveted gris-gris?
This tale has everything to appeal to young readers: humor, vain characters who are ridiculed, the cunning of the youngest who ends up triumphing, and of course, the essential ingredient in any self-respecting children's book: poop.
