The animals in this book talk to one another in a simple language. The stories always end with a lesson that in most cases solves the problem, or offers a valuable advice.It’s a combination between Zakaria Tamer unique narrative style and Raouf Karray fantastic arts.

This album brings together twenty short stories by Zakaria Tamer, mainly depicting animals: on the right, the text that stands on one page; on the left, a full page illustration. We discover the story of the rooster who does not want to sing anymore, that of the angry bull who attacks a tree, or that of the little fish who does not understand the hatred that his people carry for fishermen ...

The internal logic of the stories, the unfolding of the narrative and the fall are unfortunately not always convincing, which harms the credibility of the texts and considerably reduces their scope. But this album applies especially to the magnificent illustrations by Raouf Karray, which are part of the tradition of Persian illuminations and recall, in certain aspects, the art of the Australian aborigines. A great pictorial success, which is worth the detour!
