What would it be like if there was no death in the world at all? This story elaborates the notion of death with a funny and straightforward narration. Ribou, a tiny frog, sees his favorite Uncle get eaten by a giant snake, which makes Ribou ask (to no one in particular),” Why must anyone ever have to die?” Ribou starts to find answers to his questions. He realizes this is all because of the circle of life, so he rubs it out, but this adds to his problems since no one dies after that. The book explains why we die and what happens if we don’t.
