Description
Featuring two-colour illustrations that won the Biennale of Illustrations Bratislava 1999, this beautifully handmade children's book offers a whimsical poem for small children about a wild tiger cub that wanders into a village. A group of villagers spot him - but what they don't realise is that he is as frightened as they are. A bold and adventurous book with all the makings of a children's classic, the art, verse and typography run and bounce off the page, pursuing the tiger in his misadventures.
