Mogo The Third Warthog: Part II


Before I take this one back to the library, I know you've all been dying to hear what this book was all about. So, without further ado...

Mogo may be the runt of the litter, but he's determined to make in in the tough African savanna. When he and his two brothers are cast out of their burrow in order to make space for a new litter, it's time for each of them to venture out and build a new home and anew life.

But the savanna is full of dangerous predators and Mogo's bossy and lazy older brothers may not have what it takes to survive. On his own, Mogo must learn to battle not just lions, cheetahs, and wild dogs, but also fear and loneliness. Luckily, the friendship of a young baboon who has also been cast out of his community helps Mogo find what he's been looking for: a life not just based on survival, but that relishes the joys of friendship and love.

OK, it is officially true; you really cannot judge a book by its cover. The cover was so promising!

Bad, bad Yakov!

MOGO relishes the joys of friendship and love???

Aunt A said...

He's got a point there. Hard as it is for all of us to imagine, it must be a different warthog named MOGO.
