Instant purchase welcome! [Contents] "Those hopeless humans!" Oscar the elephant, Leopold the giraffe, and Alois the lion are furious at the news about humans by the lake in North Africa. The Second World War has ended, and no matter how many international conferences are held to maintain world peace, no results are achieved. So they think. The reason human conferences are useless isn't because of the conferences, it's because of the humans. The animals must hold a conference and show the way to peace. They decide to gather all kinds of animals from all over the world at the Animal Hall in North Africa and hold the first and last animal conference. The slogan is only one... For the children! This picture book was published in 1949, four years after the end of World War II. Erich Kästner, a German writer who continued to pray for the future of children, teamed up with Walter Trier, who had worked with him on many works, and humorously and charmingly depicts the irony towards humans. Why do we adults quickly forget the most important things? This universal theme that applies to any era. Children and adults must think about it together. #KayokoIkeda #Kayoko_Ikeda #ErichKästner #WalterTrier #book #ForeignLiterature/Other #PictureBook #Peace Thank you for viewing.
