What happened to Gustaf Tenggren's Illustrations?!,
By
This review is from: The Boy and the Tigers (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
I was really looking forward to Little Golden Books' updated version of Bannerman's classic story, but I must agree that the illustrations were quite disappointing. The updated story (and title) are fine, but instead of using the exquisite artwork originally used in Golden Books' original version by Gustaf Tenggren (an illustator whose work still appears in countless reprintings of the "The Poky Little Puppy (A Little Golden Book Classic)" and the "The Saggy Baggy Elephant (Little Golden Book)", among others), the publisher chose new illustrations by someone else, and they were not as captivating. For a better rendition of this classic story with great illustrations, I would recommend instead Fred Marcellino's "The Story of Little Babaji".
