Chapter 1
1
Nadir is a country where there are
no mammals. There are flies, and frogs,
and birds and snakes, but no mammals
at all.
People killed all mammals long ago.
First, they hunted wild mammals like
lions and zebras. They killed them all.
And then they started to hunt farm
5
animals: cows, horses and sheep. They all
disappeared.
Now people don’t remember all
those animals. Sometimes they read
their names in ancient books and they
think they are imaginary creatures, like
dragons and sirens. They are afraid of
them. Sometimes adults say their names
to scare children.
When a little child doesn’t want to go
to bed, his father tells him: “Go to bed or
the cat will come!”
And, if he doesn’t want to eat his
soup, his mother tells him: “Eat the soup
or the sheep will come and take you!”
So children are scared of mammals.
They believe they are monsters.

But Jane is different.
She is not scared of mammals.
She knows a lot of things about them
because she reads a lot of books.
