A message of friendship and love, paired with whimsical humour

translated by: Mathias Jeschke

Truman Toad wakes up one morning feeling very hungry. He has been dreaming of delicious fly toast. But his best friend Freddie is a fly! Eating him would mean putting their friendship at risk. Porridge is not an alternative. Truman hates porridge! He has to go in search of another meal. His friends only have dry leaves, straw spaghetti or even horse droppings on the menu. Weak with hunger, Konrad meets a family of mice and is given the most delicious porridge in the whole world. Is there a secret ingredient? Of course... Friendship and love go through the stomach – this is the uniquely original message conveyed by the dream duo Oren Lavie and Anke Kuhl.
