This tempers the potentially frightening wild world of the African savanna's hungry cheetahs, wild dogs, and lions, who hunt to ensure their own survival in a harsh environment.

When he and his two brothers are cast out of their burrow in order to make space for a new litter, it’s time for each of them to venture out and build a new home and a new life.But the savanna is full of dangerous predators, and Mogo’s bossy and lazy older brothers may not have what it takes to survive. On his own, Mogo must learn to battle not just lions, cheetahs, and wild dogs, but also fear and loneliness. Luckily, the friendship of a young baboon, who has also been cast out of his own community, helps Mogo find what he’s been looking for: a life not just based on survival, but one that relishes in the joy of friendship and love.Donna Jo Napoli, a master at retelling fables and fairy tales, spins a fascinating adventure from the story of The Three Little Pigs, while Lita Judge’s black and white illustrations bring the unforgettable cast of characters to life.. Mogo may be the runt of the litter, but he’s determined to make it in the tough African savanna
runt of the litter Mogo the Third Warthog is a story about a warthog who goes on many adventures in his lifetime. Mogo gets kicked out of the burrow by his mother and has to live with two of his brothers. During the story, Mogo's first brother moves away and his second brother gets lost in a hyena pack.I love Mogo the Third Warthog because it's about animals. My favorite characters are Mogo because he has lots of adventures, and Baboony because he is really funny! My favorite part is when Baboony jumps down from the tree and kills the monster because you wouldn't think a baboon would do something like that.Mogo had a problem when he los. "A Face Anyone Could Love!" according to M. Michelle Hutchinson. My granddaughter (age 8 1/2) loves Mogo, and has asked me several times if there is a stuffed one we could get her for Christmas! His courage (in the face of being the third one in line, as well as in his adventures) provided us with hours of conversation about how people act in real life. I really liked the story as well - there should be more Mogo stories!. Mogo Dr. Mom We had to read this book last year as it was one of fifteen Sunshine State Books in 2010-2011 (i.e. recommended reading for FL children grades 3-5). It was ok, had some difficult words and lots of inferences. This book was a little hard for my 3rd grader
