What is Sniff-snuff-snap! about?

At a busy African waterhole, a bossy warthog decides that he wants all the water for himself. One by one, elephants, leopards, giraffes, zebras and baboons come to drink, but each is chased away with a grumpy sniff, snuff and snap! However, the thirsty animals are not giving up. They keep sneaking back when the warthog is away, until one hot day he returns to discover that the water has vanished, leaving only thick, squelchy mud.
