Marmot – Eagle – Fight – Courage
In this photo picture book, the popular and versatile Mongolian children’s
book author ®ambyn Dašdondog tells the true story of a courageous marmot. By
first pretending to be dead and then bravely facing the attacker, the little
rodent manages to escape an attack by an eagle. The pictures were taken by the
German biologist and ecologist Franz Wellek, who supports pro-environmental
organisations in Mongolia. (5+)
