Publisher's Synopsis
An old woman sets off through the forest to visit her granddaughter, when "Boo!" - one by one, out jump a hungry fox, a hungry bear and a hungry tiger. The old woman escapes by telling them she'll taste even better on the way back, once she's eaten her dinner. But later on, at her granddaughter's, she wonders what to do... Highly-regarded author-illustrator Jessica Souhami uses the brilliant colours of India to illustrate her vibrant retelling of a traditional story known all over Southern Asia.
Another fantastic folk tale retelling by the internationally-renowned author-illustrator of such well-loved titles as Foxy!, King Pom and the Fox, The Sticky Doll Trap and Sausages. Jessica Souhami studied at the Central School of Art and Design. In 1980 she formed Mme Souhami and Co, a travelling puppet company using colourful shadow puppets with a musical accompaniment and a storyteller. Her illustrations, like her puppets, use brilliant colour and bold shapes and her characters leap and swoop across the spreads.
