Augustus and his Smile

By Catherine Rayner

Published by Little Tiger Press

Augustus is a tiger, who though large and fearless, is sad, because he has lost his smile. He goes on a journey to find it, but despite looking everywhere, he fails. Only when it begins to rain and a puddle forms does he find his smile staring back from his reflection, and realises that he will always have his smile, whenever he is happy. A simple story, well told, but it is the adventurous artwork that makes this book stand out. A real treat to see such high-quality work. Winner of the 2006 Booktrust Early Years Award for Best New Illustrator.
