A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"It remains far too hard to find good new books for six-to-eight year olds, so hurrah for the energy and charm of Polly Faber and Clara Vulliamy's Mango and Bambang series. The second instalment, Tapir All at Sea, hits the spot with its stories about Mango the little girl's friendship with Bambang, a tapir whose anxieties make him a good avatar for those with body image issues." --New Statesman

"A joyful return for Mango and Bambang, the irresistible girl and tapir duo who made their debut in The Not-a-Pig. [...] This is young fiction at its finest: a charming friendship, daring adventures, highly illustrated and wrapped up in a perfect package." --Bookseller

"This stylishly packaged book full of warmth and wit is simply irresistible. It is made up of four short stories making this particularly suitable for the emerging reader who is just building up reading stamina. The writing style is wonderful as Polly Faber combines wit and a thoughtful kindness in the telling of these adventures. I particularly enjoyed her use of vocabulary. [...] The joyful illustrations by Clara Vulliamy combine perfectly with the text bringing the characters to life. The very many expressions conveyed on Bambang's face are delightful. The detail in the illustrations will add to the appeal for children as there is so much to linger over." --The Bookbag
