Tiny's Big Adventure - Softcover
A charming book of wonder and exploration - from the award-winning author Martin Waddell. Tiny sees things he has never seen before when his sister Katy Mouse takes him up the knobbly tree, along the top bar of the gate and to the corn field for the first time: snails, spiders, rabbits, pheasants, a tractor - and even an old boot! This very special book showcases the perfect marriage of skilled craftsmanship and modern technology: vinyl engravings, watercolour washes and printed wood textures are brought together using computer technology.

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2–Tiny's big sister Katy is brave, adventurous, and willing to teach him everything she knows. When the young mouse wants to see the wheat field, she immediately agrees to take him there. They encounter many things that are new and scary to Tiny, but Katy, with her greater knowledge of the world, is able to reassure him. Their activities, which include playing games and encountering all sorts of critters, are superbly rendered in Lawrence's eye-catching illustrations. Made from vinyl engravings, watercolor washes, and textured printing, the artwork will be familiar to fans of the artist's This Little Chick (Candlewick, 2002). Aside from a few full-bleed spreads, the pictures and text boxes are framed, making them feel like sequential snapshots of the siblings' expedition. The palette consists primarily of muted blues and browns with highlights of rich gold, red, and yellow, giving the impression of light filtering down through the stalks of wheat. Children will relate to the sometimes-frightening feelings that come with venturing into the unknown and they will be reassured by this gentle, fun adventure.–Genevieve Gallagher, Orange County Public Library, VA
