From the author of the Tashi series comes another exciting adventure starring the irrepressible Figaro and his cat-friend Rumba, and the Cool Cats from the café

Figaro and Rumba are old friends. And their new friends are the cats who run the Cool Cats Cafe. Customers come from everywhere to try their chicken empanadas, and to swoon beneath the spell of their singing and steel guitars. But the Cool Cats top singer can't rehearse while Figaro is howling out of tune. Anyway, Figaro would rather be exploring than singing, and Dora, the little ginger cat, has the keys to the singer's classic Catmobile! Figaro had thought he'd seen a monster in the car, but when he sniffed inside he could only smell polish, leather, and fish . . . so off they go! Vroom, vroom, vroo-oo-ooom!

In a new picture book, Tashi rides on a white tiger to the top of the mountain to see why the dragon is not sending the rains to his village

Ever since he could remember, Tashi had been told stories about the dragon. Grandmother said the dragon lived over the mountain and far away. Second Uncle said the dragon lived in a palace of gold—he'd seen it once with his telescope, twinkling like a star. Wise-as-an-Owl said they’d be lucky if they never saw a dragon in their whole lives.

Kim Gamble's stunning illustrations take readers again into the wondrous land where Tashi lives, in the second color book to introduce Tashi to very young children. Tashi's village is experiencing a drought, so he takes a journey to find why the rains aren't being sent—a scary journey, as the dragons are the source of rain. As always, Tashi is brave and clever, and finds a way to relate to the dragons and save his village.
