In the latest book, The Case of The House At No. 74, the three children meet the courageous Sybil Kathigasu, the only Malayan woman to receive the George Medal for bravery. 
From 3.30-4.00pm, Lay Koon will regale you with the story of Pip, the young pangolin who just couldn't roll into a ball! Desperate for a cure, Pip's mother takes him to see a porcupine, a snake and a monkey. Find out what happens in this humorous story from Lay Koon's new picture book, Pip's Peculiar Problem.
