- Summary:
- "When 10 year old Kioko tearfully watches as his father slaughters yet another of his favorite bulls, he resolves to travel to the Land of Cattle to get his own bull. Grandmother warns him that the Land of Cattle is very, very far. 'You walk many, many days in the wilderness where you meet one-legged giants and cheeky spirits of the plains. You meet all kinds of fearsome animals and if you are still alive, you reach the Land of Cattle where you find the fiercest people you have ever seen!' But when Kioko steals away to the Land of Cattle, he finds there is much more in the plains than Grandmother had ever told him."--Page 4 of cover.
