About This Book

A group of anthropomorphic animals, ravenous and curious, discover a tree bearing an unfamiliar, delicious-smelling fruit but cannot eat it because they do not know its name. They send successive messengers—each given comic, characteristic movement and a river journey—to consult their king, who identifies the tree as Bojabi and warns them not to forget the name. Each envoy’s return becomes a rhythmic, cumulative sequence of mishaps and forgetfulness, and the narrative unfolds as a playful, repetitive tale about communal problem-solving, curiosity, and the quirks of the animals involved.
