Hugo the Dung-Beetle (Hovnivál Hugo)

Introduction

The book was awarded the Most Beautiful Book of Slovakia. What do you know about dung beetles? They are the beetles that push along a ball made from the poo of other animals. But one dung-ball isn’t enough for Hugo the dung-beetle – he wants as many as possible! He stores them all around the forest and doesn’t talk to anyone. But what happens when all his treasures dissolve in a few seconds right before his eyes? Hugo the dung-beetle is a story about greed, the strength of friendship, and what actually makes us happy, even when everything else is crap!
