An honest and clever picture book that illustrates how devaluing and mocking others will land you in a whole load of POOP.
In the savanna the animals all live in harmony. A very small but hardworking dung beetle works diligently to carefully pick up and roll the droppings he finds to keep the ecosystem clean. The elephant, the ostrich, and the monkeys all mock and ridicule him. Since the dung beetle is intelligent and cautious, he does not reply to their taunts.
His only advocate, the fly, defends him and urges him to take action and talk to the king. But what a disappointment there too; instead of supporting him, the lion agrees with the others and then chases him away with a roar. The dung beetle is then faced with a big decision that is destined to change the savanna itself!
