Boo!
Publisher: Flying Eye Books
Simply nobody is as brave and bold as Mouse, even though he appears meek, and small. Nothing scares him. Apart from, that is, Owl towering behind him! And of course, no one is as wise or brave as Owl. Nothing scares him, except for Monkey springing up behind him. And nothing's as funny and brave as Monkey, except Crocodile.
Crocodile's ice cool, although he's easily terrified by Tiger. Tiger is top cat, until he's traumatised by Elephant. And Elephant is, of course, biggest and bravest of all. Until Mouse pops up!
The wonderfully simple visual joke underpinning this story of bravery and inner insecurity is told through the illustrations, graphically bold, strongly coloured, using page space and page turns with energy and stylish wit. Enormous fun!
