In this classic tale by Erich Kästner, the world's animals become fed up with human conflict, failed peace treaties, and endless bureaucracy. Led by a courageous trio—Oscar the elephant, Leo the lion, and Leopold the giraffe—they decide to take matters into their own paws and convene their own international conference. Their goal is simple: to finally achieve the world peace that humans seem incapable of creating. It's a powerful and humorous satire on politics and a plea for a better world, as relevant today as when it was first written.
