Pages: 144
Published: 2015
Age: 7+
A charming collection of four beautifully illustrated stories about the unlikely friendship between Mango, a little girl, and Bambang, an Asian tapir.
Mango Allsorts is good at all sorts of things, not just karate and chess. Bambang is most definitely not-a-pig and is now lost in a very busy city. When the two unexpectedly meet, a friendship begins, filled with adventures, and of course, plenty of banana pancakes. The Not-a-Pig is book one in a brilliant series from Polly Faber and Clara Vulliamy.
Charmingly illustrated throughout in black and white and perfect for younger readers who are just becoming confident at reading alone. These stories recall classic favourites like Paddington Bear or Milly Molly Mandy but with a contemporary sensibility.
