Set in the middle ages, Pangolin asks his friends around the castle what he should tell the queen about the royal swing that he broke.

The cover and end papers are bright and colorful. Be sure to read the "Note about Pangolins", so you learn about an endangered animal. Pangolin sends the same call to each friend, while the responses are varied and interesting. It could be interesting to continue the story be having listeners predict what other animals would reply.
