WHY WE LOVE IT

Rene and Glumfoot are back in The Cave Downwind of the Cafe! Following on from the very, very excellent The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods, Mikey Please is serving up this much-anticipated picture book in September – and I, for one, am EXCITED.

The premise? While Glumfoot’s dreams are finally coming true, the local ogre has developed a hankering for a very particular dish … Rene! Can Glumfoot and his trademark quick wit save the day (again)?

– Amy, Bookseller
