Dadanaivo Tefy Authors: Sophie Küspert-Rakotondrainy and Tolonjo Saranga Andriamparany Rakotondrainy |
The bull Tefy is uncle (dadanaivo) to many calves, to whom he tells many stories in the evening under the big tamarind tree. The story he tells this evening is about his adventures to the island Zanzibar. The adventure began when he made a big demonstration against bush fires and afterwards broke free from the slaughterhouse and hitchhike with a taxi brousse. Finally he comes to Zanzibar after being hunted by a naïve gendarme and a very angry old lady. And then he wants to come back, but how?
This book is a funny book with many colorful pictures showing Uncle Tefy’s various appearances, for example dressed as a lady. This can make both children and adults laugh. But even if it is a funny book there are some more serious themes lying underneath, for example the way people treat cattle. It acts mostly in Madagascar, but has some scenes from Zanzibar to give the reader a glimpse of the way of living outside the island.
