A thought-provoking illustrated storybook in which the forest animals discover that anger doesn't always have to be angry In ten thoughtful, philosophical, absurd tales by master storyteller Toon Tellegen, the forest animals-from squirrel to scarab beetle-spend their days as friends do, with birthday parties, writing letters, visiting, dancing, or sometimes all alone.
