Stan and Mabel
Publisher: Templar
The arrival of a pink hairless creature means that Mabel has been a cuddle-less cat for a long time. Sam, the dog next door, longs for a walk in the park. Only the beautiful flute music played by the lady downstairs makes them happy in their high-rise homes.
But one day the music stops. Sam and Mabel decide to follow the flautist to Italy for a competition to find the Greatest Orchestra in the World. Along the way, they collect an oboe-playing duck, two drumming rabbits and a herd of musical cows.
Colourful illustrations enhance this entertaining animal story showing that dreams can come true and music can be made in the most surprising ways.
