Tiger on a Tree Summary

Tiger on a Tree by Anushka Ravishankar

Tiger, tiger on a tree Is it true? Can it be? Did he fly? Did he flee? Did he fall and hurt his knee? Did he cry? Did he plead? If you want to know, Read. An award-winning combination of black, orange and whimsical poetry, this is the tale of a wild tiger cub that wanders into an Indian village. The art, verse and typography run and bounce off the page, drawing both the curious child and the quizzical adult into the book's ever-surprising world.

Tiger on a Tree Reviews

Beautiful hand silk-screened illustrations on white, hand-made paper in a striking black and orange which complements the simple verse. The Ultimate First Book Guide

About Anushka Ravishankar

One of our most prolific children's book writers, Anushka Ravishankar has slowly but surely been securing her status as one of the best children's writers of her generation. Her expansive talent shines most brilliantly in her works of nonsense verse - jubilant and artful adaptations of this difficult genre to the cadences of Indian English. Said to be the pioneer of this form, she has earned national and international acclaim for her nine verse books released over the last decade. Rights to her books have been snapped up around the world and she has over 12 awards to her name. Her books owe their success not only to her fabulous verse, but to her willingness to collaborate and experiment with many different artists and designers - whether working with Swiss textile artists or veteran Indian illustrators, the best aspect of Anushka's work is the cohesion she creates between the text, typography and artwork of each scene. Pulak Biswas is one of the pre-eminent children's book illustrators in India. He started his artistic career over 40 years ago and worked for several advertising agencies until 1981, when he became a freelance artist. He now focuses on painting and children's book illustration, which he considers his dream vocation.
