Set in the semi-savannah of Africa, a beautiful but harsh landscape, G.E. Becker's wonderfully imaginative book tells of the struggles to survive for a group of assorted herbivores, whose lives are lived out in constant fear of the lurking predators that surround them.Driven by a desire to find the glorious safe land they have heard of only in the tales of migrating birds, the animals set off on a long trek to find their 'Shangri-la', certain in the knowledge that the tall, dry grass that covers the landscape conceals a possible quick and violent death for any one of them.Led by the intrepid and enterprising Billy the Goat and encouraged by the boisterous but determined cock, Henry Rooster, the herd set off to find the mythical Kingdom of Weshallsee.
