Tiger on a Tree

Anushka Ravishankar, Pulak Biswas

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. A wild tiger cub wanders into an Indian village – and encounters a group of stunned inhabitants, each with his own distinctly odd suggestion for what to do with the wandering beast. Art, verse and typography run and bounce off these pages, drawing the reader into an absurdly adventurous world. Translated into eight languages, this classic Tara title has sold 50,000 copies worldwide.

Kirkus Reviews

Minimalist verse … equally minimalist two colur illustrations …[and] typography [that] swoops and darts across the page.

The Hindu

[Ravishankar’s] verse borders on the wacky ..., making you want to repeat each line — louder and with more emphasis.
