Bookroo's summary

By Africa's Lake Nyasa, Elephant and Hippopotamus intimidate the smaller creatures with their size and strength. But Tortoise, small yet wise, devises a cunning plan to humble these bullies. Can wit triumph over might in this tale of brains versus brawn?

From the publisher

On the banks of Africa’s Lake Nyasa there’s a quarrel going on. Elephant and Hippopotamus are boasting how big and strong they are and frightening the smaller animals. But not clever Tortoise. He may be small but his brains are big and he knows a trick to cut those bullies down to size!
