Figaro and Rumba and the Crocodile Café by Anna Fienberg and Stephen Michael King Publishers: Allen and Unwin, 2012
This is a whimsical little book which follows the drawn out adventure of best friends Figaro the dog and Rumba the cat. Figaro is desperate to go on the brand new super fast train which rapidly takes travellers all the way to the beach, though Rumba is concerned about the criminals and villains who frequent the journey.
Before they even get to board the train, each chapter has a mini-problem that arises, for instance, they must clean the house, help out their friend Nat who is lost in the river, find dancing Nancy, and fix Mrs Foozy’s motorbike.
With all these hurdles out of the way, the train trip is exciting, and Figaro and Rumba end up at their new friend’s café, but what does the crocodile really want from them? And what is the mystery of the humming house?
Enjoy the tale told by the creator of the Tashi series and the awesome illustrations by King.
