Abstract: Forse non tutti sanno che il levriero è un animale estremamente prudente e cauto. Anzi, addirittura si nasconde perché ha paura di tutto: per esempio dei piccioni, dei palloncini, del vento, dei gatti, degli altri levrieri... e quando è nascosto non è facile trovarlo e convincerlo a uscire! Come evitare allora che il levriero scappi improvvisamente alla ricerca del nascondiglio più vicino? Questo libro suggerisce diverse strategie: si può provare a camuffarlo con travestimenti spaventosi, così che siano gli altri a fuggire da lui, o portarlo in luoghi dove non si rischia di incontrare nessuno. Voi invece come fareste? Con la sua consueta leggerezza e ironia, Andrea Antinori ci regala un libro che ci fa sorridere a ogni pagina, e ci fa innamorare di questo animale così elegante e irrimediabilmente timoroso.
