Gobble You Up! - wolf gita

. .

Résumé :
Gobble You Up is a story in cumulative rhyme, centering on a wily jackal, who is too lazy to hunt for his food. He tricks his friend, the crane into being his prey and then proceeds to gobble up every animal he comes across... But can his cleverness match his appetite? The book features Meena art from Rajasthan, done by women on the walls and floors of their homes. This is the first time that this style - rarely seen outside the confines of Meena villages - has been used in a children's book. Meena artist Sunita's black-and-white drawings rework traditional imagery to illustrate a gamboling tale. Silkscreen-printed by hand onto kraft paper using black and white ink, each book is a numbered edition.
