Ottie se pa is 'n sjef by die Koperlyster Hotel. Hy word baie min
betaal en omdat hy nie die regte papiere het nie, kan hy nie sommer
net 'n ander werk gaan soek nie. Wanneer die nare hoteleienaar hom
ontslaan, moet Ottie en haar pa in hul bussie rondtrek en vir hom
'n nuwe werk soek, maar eers gaan kampeer hulle uit in die
parkeerterrein voor die "rekenaargebou" waar hy sy papiere moet
kry… Ottie verstaan nie veel hiervan nie en hul dierevriendjies ook
nie. Wanneer die polisieman hulle kom wegjaag, vlieg Kwark, die
kraai, voor die bussie uit om vir hulle 'n rustige kampeerplek uit
te wys. Intussen raak die twee muise in Ottie se mandjie, wat van
die hotel af saamgekom het om "Die wye wereld" te sien, onrustig
omdat hulle nog nie in Muistopia, oftewel Muisparadys, is nie.

decides it's just too crowded and packs his bags. He's off to visit
his mongoose cousins. But from the watery world of the Marsh
Mongoose to the nocturnal lifestyle of the Malagasy Mongoose, Sunny
just doesn't fit in. And who's that shadowy figure who seems to be
following him around? There's so much to enjoy, from the newspaper
cuttings on the endpapers to the wittily accurate information about
each mongoose species Sunny visits on his journey. With seven giant
glossy postcards attached to the pages, this beautiful book is rich
with comic detail and will keep any child entertained for hours.
