Zhazha the porcupine and his friends Duoduo the bear cub and Taotao the monkey live in the Dark Mushroom Forest. They hate the dark night and are afraid that it might SWALLOW them up. Then Awu the elephant arrives. Awu doesn’t eat leaves, he doesn’t grass. He only eats dark nights. ‘It’s yummier than bananas, tastier than grass, and crunchier than bamboo,’ says Awu. ‘And it’s got my name on it.’ And the darkness disappears up his trunk. Soon the night is ALL GONE but when there is no darkness lurking anywhere, everyone begins to yawn and is too tired to play. Even the tigers lose their roars and the Dark Mushroom Forest becomes an annoying yawning place…
The perfect bed time story for those who hate the dark by prize winning author Bing Bai and illustrator Yuanyuan Shen.
