Tiny's Big Adventure
By Martin Waddell
Illustrated by Ana Martin Larranaga
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.

Review
"This is an extremely sweet book...the text has been illustrated with woodcut pictures that echo the pastoral qualities of the story with a beguiling simplicity that belies the difficulty of this medium. The inherent innocence in the story has been both extended and amplified by the illustrations, and the brilliant integration of text and pictures makes it a joy to read aloud." Sydney's Child
