Product Description

Product Description

Augustus the tiger was sad. He had lost his smile. So he did a huge tigery stretch, and set off to find it. In this book, the author and illustrator Catherine Rayner celebrates the beauty of the world and the simple happiness it brings us when we open our eyes to it.


About the Author

Catherine Rayner was born in Harrogate and now lives in Edinburgh. She has a BA (Hons) in Visual Communication and Illustration from Leeds College of Art and Edinburgh College of Art. Much of her inspiration - and occasionally modelling! - for her illustration comes from her pets: her horse Shannon, guinea pig Marvin, dog Ellie and two goldfish, Bruce and Sheila.

An extremely popular book at our local nursery this story has kept the kids here entertained throughout. The design and colours used in the lovely artwork are full of detail and humour. All in all a wonderful story, I'm looking forward immensely to the next book by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece: a beautiful picture book with a lovely message, 15 Jul 2008
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Augustus and His Smile (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.

A fantastic first book by a brilliant new talent. Beautiful and highly original artwork makes this book really special and the warmth of this story will delight children and adults alike. Keep a look out for other books by this artist who is sure to become a big name in children's literature.
