An elephant suddenly finds himself burrowed inside the den of a leopard. Terrified, he asks for help. The leopard, following an absurd logic, teaches him how to escape from the den. Then, to the leopard's horror, he finds himself immersed in the deep sea. Here begins the chain of unexpected and desperate situations where we find many animals acting as "fish out of water." The animals continually help one another in these unfamiliar environments by applying common sense. An illustrated story with artistic collages, this book features color in a vivid new way.
