Augustus and His Smile

By Catherine Rayner

Winner of the Best New Illustrator Award in the BOOKTRUST EARLY YEARS AWARDS 2006

Shortlisted for the CILIP KATE GREENAWAY MEDAL 2007

Augustus the tiger was sad. He had lost his smile. So he did a HUGE tigery stretch, and set off to find it. He passes shiny insects, birds, mountains, fish and gets caught up in a rainstorm...

A remarkable book which celebrates the beauty of the world.

“…a gorgeously illustrated tale about a tiger that sets off in search of his lost smile – it’s prefect for keen little listeners.”

“…the real star of this impressive debut is the illustration. Page for page, this has a better feeling for tigerishness of a tiger – how it swims and climbs and makes a HUGE tigery stretch than a whole chapter of natural history books…This will make children care.” – The Independent
