Honor list 2023 IBBY selectionA fable with fangs — darkly witty, profoundly clever, and delightfully wicked.
A cunning tiger confronts a flock of frightened sheep hiding in a mine. With charm, riddles, and irresistible manipulation, she lures them out one by one… with predictable results. But in a final twist, the tiger meets an even more surprising end: the trickster will be tricked!
Told with dry humour and richly illustrated in Fabian Negrin’s evocative style, this picture book is a masterful exploration of deception, gullibility, and power. With echoes of traditional tales and modern satire, it invites children to think critically — and laugh nervously.
Perfect for readers who enjoy a clever narrative, a twist ending, and picture books that dare to go beyond the expected.
