Description
Jack fancies himself as a chef but he can't even make a good sandwich. His sister Anna wants to be a wildlife expert but she can't tell a fox from a badger. Out in the woods one day, they come across the Polecat Cafe and some very wild-and-hungry-life indeed - including a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex that Anna mistakes for a kangaroo! After much farcical fun, Jack decides he still wants to be a chef but will get some lessons, and Anna still wants to be a wildlife expert but she will get a book!
