Great Big Enormous Book of Tashi

Description

Tashi comes from a place very far away. He escaped from a warlord and flew to this country on the back of a swan. He's as brave as he's clever, and he tells the best stories ever! Tashi is always ready for anything. Now all his stories are rolled into one enormous book. That's 32 daredevil adventures!

Anna and Barbara Fienberg write the Tashi stories together. When Anna was a child, Barbara read bedtime stories to her and they would travel to all the secret places in the world, through books. They started making up the Tashi stories when Barbara remembered how, when she was a child, she used to tell tall stories, creative fibs.whoppers! And kids would crowd around, dying to hear her latest tale. Anna and Barbara talked about a character like her - someone who told fantastic stories - and over many cups of tea they cooked up Tashi. Kim Gamble is one of Australia's leading illustrators for children. Together Anna and Kim have made such wonderful books as The Magnificent Nose and Other Marvels, The Hottest Boy Who Ever Lived, the Tashi series, the Minton picture books, Joseph, There once was a boy called Tashi and The Amazing Tashi Activity Book.
