War
A disagreement between leopard and tiger over
which is the most aesthetically pleasing – stripes or spots - soon builds from
a mere argument into an all out war amongst the green, lush colours of the
jungle background. Much to think about here for a wide group of children and
new delights to discover with every ‘reading’. Watch out for David Attenborough
in his khaki-coloured jacket! And - explore the net for more about the writer/illustrator whose The Boring Book won the 2014 New
Zealand Post Margaret Mahy Book of the Year and was also the winner in the
Awards’ Picture Book category.
