Synopses

Bumping Buffalo

Buffalo loves to bump, using his great horns and the pad between them to knock into other animals. When he goes looking for trouble, he finds it.

Hungry Hyena

Hyena steals Fish Eagle’s dinner and sparks a chain of events that ends with the hyenas reaching for the moon, with disastrous results. Along the way, the tale explains how Hyena came to slink across the great African plain and how Fish Eagle soars in the clouds.

Handsome Hog

On the Great Grassy African Plain, Handsome Hog is proud of his smooth coat and elegant tail. This story tells how he lost his looks and became known to the other animals as Warthog.

Enormous Elephant

Before the Big Rains, many animals looked very different. This tale recounts how Enormous Elephant came to wave his long trunk and swish his long tail on the Great Plains.

Awkward Aardvark

Mongoose asks the other animals for help, yet the problem is only solved once the termites become involved. The authors have also written Hot Hippo and Crafty Chameleon in the same series.

Crafty Chameleon

Chameleon is mocked and bullied daily by Leopard and Crocodile, who fixate on his small size. Relying on wit, patience and help from friends, he quietly puts a plan in motion that ties the two bullies together and teaches them a lesson.

Laughing Giraffe

Long ago, Giraffe was the noisiest animal on the Great African Plain, shouting and laughing all the time. The littlest Egret shows him that being heard does not depend on being loud.

Sleepy Cheetah

In the distant past, Cheetah was sandy-coloured and spent her days snoozing on the Great African Plain, with no need to run to hunt. When a fire sends the other animals fleeing, she discovers her speed, and the story explains how she got her markings.
