The illustrations in this book are amazing!!! My 2 yr old son and I look at every page with enjoyment-it's like walking through an art gallery together. The story is really cute and easy to follow for my sons age...I will be buying all of Catherine Rayners books for myself and also as special presents for friends.

Format:Paperback
A bold and striking pen and ink tiger roams silently through colour and landscape, in search of his smile. The imagery is strong and warm, as this fresh and original artwork sweep from grasses and the leaves of the trees, to the bottom of the deepest oceans and a darkened mountain landscape. The accompanying sentences are appropriately rich and vivid, and as the appealing Augustus journeys on, each turn of the page bringing new colour and energy to the story, his smile returns reflected in a silver-blue puddle: he realizes happiness was everywhere around him, and he need only look at the world to find it. Timeless, and surely a classic in the making.
