STRIPES! NO, SPOTS!

STRIPES! NO, SPOTS!

Vasanti Unka

When Tiger and Leopard disagree, the jungle turns to mayhem. How can peace be restored? A fabulous new picture book from Vasanti Unka, award-winning author of The Boring Book.

Tiger claims that stripes are best. Leopard insists that spots are tops. Their squabble turns

into a quarrel; the quarrel becomes a battle; and, by lunchtime, the jungle is a complete

mess. Monkey calls a meeting of the Jungle Council and all the animals put their heads

together to come up with a plan. Their cunningly stylish way of resolving matters will bring

out the best in everyone . . . well, almost everyone.

Stripes! No, Spots! is a gorgeously colourful, fabulously fashion-conscious and shrewdly

funny new picture book from the award-winning author of The Boring Book, which is sure to

delight and entertain children ages 3 –10 as well as grown-ups with great taste.
