<br/><br/> 'He has an animal under his shirt and he says he won't  stay in hospital unless that animal stays too' - thus we  meet Hwikwi the mongoose for the first time! Mind you,  it's almost the last, - the story of mongoose nearly  finishes before it gets properly started! If it weren't  for Elephant's powerful medicine . . . But if you want to  find out why Elephant was burying the pink stuff  from the Masumu tree, or for that matter, how Python got  his bulge or Goon the baboon got the bump on his head,  not to mention how Rhino's ill-tempered relative got a  very sore nose indeed, then you're going to have to read  this new collection of Jungle Doctor's larger-than-life  animal fables!--Back cover. 
<br/><br/><br/>Paul White was an  Australian missionary doctor in Africa who learnt to  clothe his Bible teaching in fables, creating stories  with a timeless quality. When he returned home to  Australia his stories were discovered and published to  world-wide acclaim.
