It is a great second part of the previously published "The US History Cookbook" by the same authors.

This is a great story, strangely and gorgeously illustrated. It is the story of Bobo, a man who makes food for all the animals - only one day a 'funny thing' comes along. It is not an animal, it insists it is an aMinal.
A wonderful story of goodness, patience and distraction.
