Here are four more adventures for Mango and her best friend Bambang the tapir and they are if anything even more appealing than previous stories, perfect fiction for young readers. In this set of self-contained but interlinked stories Mango is determined to let Bambang experience as much as possible and in one particularly lovely episode creates a snowy day for him, in the middle of summer. The two are reunited with Bambang’s precocious little cousin Guntur too, at the premier of his new film. Beautifully illustrated, simply told but full of incident, the charm of these stories derives not just from their fun adventures but from the deep affection between the two central characters. Lovely!
Bambang and Paddington share the same innocence and capacity for causing chaos, while readers will also enjoy Shirley Hughes’s Dixie O’Day books, Pugs of the Frozen North by Sarah McIntyre and Philip Reeve, and Elisabeth Beresford’s stories of the Wombles. ~ Andrea Reece
