Kurzbeschreibung
A wonderfully vibrant and unusual picture book from a talented writer and exuberant illustrator.
Old Al Haji Amadu lived in a town called Timbuktu in a very hot country called Mali in the middle of Africa. He had three wives, seven children and five extremely naughty goggle-eyed goats. They munched and they gobbled and they chewed whatever they could find. One day, enough was enough, they had to go! But getting rid of these troublesome goats proved to be harder than Al Haji, his three wives and his seven children ever imagined.
