Every four years, the animals elect their king. The lion loves elections, as everyone always votes for him. But this time it's different. A small gray mouse says: "What's the point of elections if there's no alternative? You need a rival candidate because, otherwise, this makes no sense!" The lion agrees and the election campaign begins. However, the mouse is not the only one who also wants to be king... "A first lesson on democracy: cheerful, transgressive, and fun" (Frankfurter Neue Presse, German newspaper). Martin Baltscheit is also the author of "The Lion Who Didn't Know How to Write," published by Lóguez, which has achieved great public and critical success. "...the surprising ending will make not only children think" (La Vanguardia)
