Un pannolino per Puz. Gli animali di Strambosco

Strangewood is overrun with rubbish, and it’s all the fault of an illegal dump near the Reeking Swamp! Our animal friends will have to transform into superheroes to restore Strangewood to its usual splendour.

• Lots of laughs (all while learning a lot about nature).

• Diversity as a source of strength, thanks to teamwork and friendship.

• At the end of each story, either Dizzy the squirrel or Ray the owl describes the real characteristics of the animals outside Strangewood.

• Shortlisted for The Strega Children’s Prize 2022
