Mogo may be the runt of the litter, but hes determined to make it in the tough African savanna. When he and his two brothers are cast out of their burrow in order to make space for a new litter, its time for each of them to venture out and build a new home and a new life.But the savanna is full of dangerous predators, and Mogos bossy and lazy older brothers may not have what it takes to survive. On his own, Mogo must learn to battle not just lions, cheetahs, and wild dogs, but also fear and loneliness. Luckily, the friendship of a young baboon, who has also been cast out of his own community, helps Mogo find what hes been looking for: a life not just based on survival, but one that relishes in the joy of friendship and love.Donna Jo Napoli, a master at retelling fables and fairy tales, spins a fascinating adventure from the story of The Three Little Pigs, while Lita Judges black and white illustrations bring the unforgettable cast of characters to life.
