In Chiquito, capital of Palombia, the old Marsupilami in the municipal zoo feels his end coming, and would like to die free, in the legendary Marsupilami graveyard. Warned by an escaped parrot, our Marsu sets off towards the city, along with Bip and Sarah, the two jungle orphans, to free his elder.
There’s a problem, though: Chiquito is in the middle of a revolution against its latest dictator, Baby Prinz. And in Palombia, revolution is a national sport!
This is what I am talking about. Colourful. Fun. Silliness. Just what we want right now.
I'm going to have to check the previous books because, although Cinebook has always produced high quality books -this one seems to have gone up a notch or two...but it could be my aging, comic riddled mind.
To say that this book is often a tad surreal might be understating things. The above blurb tells you all you need to know and I never give spoilers. Kids ("of all ages") will love this and it reminded me of being a kid and on a dreary, slightly smoggy St Werburgh's day, puicking up a comic to read -for a while the whole world could go flip-off.
PLEASE always buy from the publisher if you can because EVERY penny helps them keep going.
