Brilliantly told in words and pictures, this is the entertaining adventure of best friends Stan and Mabel, a dog and a cat, who share a passion for music. Teaming up with their animal friends the two indulge their passion and end up setting up an amazing orchestra with some very unusual players.
Music-lovers Stan (a dog) and Mabel (a cat) live in a block of flats in the city. When their musician neighbour goes to judge the auditions for the ‘Best Orchestra in the World’, they decide to follow her. Animals they meet along the way misunderstand their mission and come with them, thinking that they’re going to audition! Their newly formed orchestra sounds terrible, but they are the best (and only) animal orchestra in the world!
