In a very busy city filled with very busy people, lonely but well-rounded little girl Mango Allsorts meets a frightened Malaysian tapir named Bambang, and a fast friendship forms. This endearing collection of four short, interconnected stories, perfect for newly independent readers, is framed by expressive illustrations that put readers in the center of the action to connect with our brave, selfless heroine.
