Nalah and the Pink Tiger by Anne Sawyer-Aitch



Nalah and the Pink TigerABOUT NALAH AND THE PINK TIGER

Nalah and the Pink Tiger is a picture book by Anne Sawyer-Aitch. She drew inspiration for this story from her lively little niece, who lives so intensely in her imagination that grown-ups around her view her as a troublemaker. Things come to a head when – in addition to all the exotic animals that Nalah has “placed” in the house – a pink tiger “follows” her home from the zoo and creates havoc. The story also celebrates the joyful explosiveness of a child’s imagination. To illustrate the book, Anne developed a style which she calls illuminated iIllustration, featuring multiple layers and backlighting that create vibrant, textured pages.

My Review:

What a delightful book!  I have read it a few times and now am having a hard time getting it away from my daughter.  But, as good as the story is, the illustrations truly push this book over the top.  Fabulous!  Being a mom to two girls ages 8 and 9, I love how Nalah's imagination shines through...or maybe it is her parents lack of imagination that I can relate too.  There is an old saying about how the older you get as a child, you lose some of your imagination.  I think that might be true.  But, while reading this book, I found myself wondering which one was right, Nalah, or the rest of the family.  Loved it!

Everything considered, Space interlopers was a champion among other addictive round of that time in light of the uniqueness of its thought. http://www.copychecker.net/copy-and-paste-plagiarism-checker/
