Corinne Van | 2 comments Story line: A boy goes to stay at his grandmother (or aunt). He somehow gets to another world. In this world special animals live who look like normal animals but have special traits. There is (I think) a cow who does not only produce regular milk but also has taps (?) for chocolate milk and cream. There is a snail that leaves a certain type of trail of a very light and strong material. There is an eminent treat of attack by some enemy (also animals I tthink). The boy helps the animals to defend themselfs and while doing this makes use of their special traits. He for example makes some kind of balloons with the slime of the snail. They succeed in fending of the attach. Maybe there was an element in there of being brave or it being ok to be different, but maybe I am just imagining. It has been a while.
