Description

Brought to you by Penguin. What is The Tiger Who Came to Tea really about? What has Meg and Mog got to do with Polish embroidery?Why is death in picture books so often represented by being eaten?Fierce Bad Rabbits takes us on an eye-opening journey in a pea-green boat through the history of picture books.

From Edward Lear through to Julia Donaldson, Clare Pollard shines a light on some of our best-loved childhood stories and what they really mean, weaving in tales from her own childhood and her re-readings as a parent. Because the best picture books are far more complex than they seem - and darker too.

Monsters can gobble up children and go unnoticed, power is not always used wisely, and the wild things are closer than you think.

Sparkling with wit, magic and nostalgia, Fierce Bad Rabbits will make you see even stories you've read a hundred times afresh.
