Malo has promised to help his best friend Poto make pickles, but in this tale for readers 4 to 7, when Malo hears there's a new merry-go-round in the vicinity, all bets are off. Abandoning Poto, he rushes through the forest, ignoring a boar in need of help and snapping at a cuckoo. When he finally finds the merry-go-round, Malo realizes that riding alone would be no fun at all, and now he will learn an important lesson about forgiveness. Using watercolors, Polish artist Maria Dek creates whimsical scenes inspired by folk art and fairy tales.

"Selfishness and rudeness lead only to loneliness in this joyously offbeat fable. Dek's eccentric visual humor and playfulness make for an amusing parable."—Publishers Weekly
