The basic building block in any cubic bipartite graph is the following:

This fragment is taken from the french wiki page on Dessin D'Enfants (for a english translation go here), but, up to now, I've never seen a full-blown example of a bicubic graph, that qualifies as a dessin. By the latter, I mean, given such a graph, what is the corresponding $p(x)$?

Can anyone point towards a (simple) worked-out example?

UPDATE Looks like I found something

Unfortunately the paper "Bipartite graph embeddings, Riemann surfaces and Galois groups" by Gareth A. Jones is not freely available...

Okay, I found something in

"The field of moduli and fields of definition of dessins d’enfants" by Moises Herradon Cueto

As an example, we can take the cube dessin on the sphere

... This holomorphic map is given by the equation $$ f(z)=-\frac{1}{12\sqrt 3} \frac{(z^4-2\sqrt 3 z^2 -1)^3}{z^2(z^4+1)^2}$$
