Tiger on a Tree by Anushka Ravishankar with illustrations by Pulak Biswas. It’s a Tara Books publication. More about Ravishankar’s style here.
My son and I are fans. Who knew children’s books were so much fun?

I love Tiger On A Tree, but my son’s personal favourite of all the Tara Books was ‘Anything But A Grabooberry’, also by Anushka Ravishankar.
And so you know the blog Saffron Tree? Lots of good recos there.
The best children’s books I’ve picked up have been from the pavement second hand book stores. They frequently have some extraordinary books - ‘One Odd Old Owl’, “Do Pirates Take Baths?’, ‘Lupinchen’, ‘The Big Pets’.
And of the Indian stories, the Tulika and Pratham books are lovely. Esp. Tulika’s bilingual books.
