I think that the major problem is that this is not the easiest story to adapt. I think the other major problem was that the insertion of facts was rather awkward. I think the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series does a much better job. I doubt this will win. What’s a group of warthogs called? A sounder. When do male warthogs have to leave their sounder? When they’re around three years old! That’s the challenge Mogo, the youngest in his litter, is facing when his mother tells him to branch off on his own. How is he supposed to know how to keep safe on the harsh African plains, where hooking up with the wrong kind of gazelle can mean running for his life from a hungry lion? It’s a rough adjustment, but Mogo gradually finds his own path. no reviews | add a review
When Mogo is cast out of his burrow to make room for a new litter, he learns how to survive and as an unlikely friendship with a young baboon blooms, Mogo finds the joy of friendship and love. No library descriptions found. |
