For fans of Richard Scarry, join two friends on a hilarious adventure through an animal city as they embark on a topsy-turvy journey to find each other.

Leo and Kimbo are best friends. Despite living on opposite sides of the city, they meet almost every day. But today is a very special day: it's Kimbo's birthday!

Leo decides to surprise his friend with a birthday present and so heads off to meet up with Kimbo across the busy city. But little does Leo know that Kimbo is headed to Leo's house! Will they ever get to celebrate together?

There is so much to see in this zany city: there's a bug parade, a shop selling rhymes, a busy bakery selling cream puffs and ice cream, a Robo-Dog dancing in the park, and so much more!

From the creators of No. 5 Bubblegum Street, featuring artwork that 'share[s] the bright hand-drawn style of beloved Scarry characters' (The Times), join the friends as their paths get tangled and the city takes them on an adventure. Will they ever get to celebrate together?

There is so much to see in this vibrant city! Come along and join the adventure!
