Huxley and Flapjack: Race to the Rescue by Alan MacDonald

Meet Huxley, an energetic koala with BIG ideas, and his best friend Flapjack, a cautious and slightly nervous penguin who would much rather stay at home.

But when Huxley gets some pocket money, there’s only one place to go — the grand opening of Jollygoods, the brand-new department store in town! What starts as an exciting day out quickly turns into chaos when a mix-up with a robber leads to Huxley being mistaken for the thief.

Now, with the help of his loyal friend Flapjack, Huxley must track down the real robber, clear his name, and still make it home in time for tea!
