Deep inside the Palombian jungle, a rickety old boat sails up a sluggish river. On board is one of the world’s most famous hunters, and he’s vowed to be the first to capture a Marsupilami. But that’s no easy prey. The long-tailed creature is smart – much smarter than any human believes. And an alliance with the local natives isn’t going to be much help: they hate the Marsupilami who keeps outwitting them, and they’re desperate to find out what he tastes like

A plane carrying two Chinese government envoys goes down in the Palombian jungle. A crate is parachuted out just before the crash. It contains a baby panda, official gift of China to a neighbouring country. The young survivor is found and taken in by the Marsupilami’s family, but they soon face a serious problem: their new charge only eats bamboo – the only local source of which lies inside the nearby native village…

In 1993, the much loved character starred in an animated series and in 2012 (I think 2012) he was the star of a live action/cgi movie Sur la piste du Marsupilami  (English HOUBA! On the Trail of the Marsupilami ).  Now YOU can see what all the fuss is about.  If you don't enjoy these books then your kids ought to.  Not buying the books for your kids is kinda child cruelty and you don't want to be accused of that, right?

So do yourself a favour and give your kids -or yourself- a big bouncy treat!  

I mean Marsupilami!
