Dr Xargles guide to Earth Tiggers
its set as a alien teacher telling its fellows about Earth and what to expect - it’s part of a series to introduce ‘aliens’ to Earth. Its language is playful and is matched by its pictures.
Use of repetition in the face to show movement and elongated cat streak.
This is the twist at the end of the book... they’ve been taught about domesticated cats, not tigers.
Avocado Baby
I likes spread as the babes facial expressions are simple but get the message across - he’s not happy!
Mogs Christmas
here the expression is so funny, it expresses what we see in our cats. The children look so content compared to the cat.
The composition in this makes us follow the general activities of the festive season...and then we see the grumpy cat.
I’ve chosen these books as the simple lines still express strong emotions and feelings that we can connect to the character. The colours in all of them are bright and in Xargles and Mog, colouring pencils are used as well as a wash.
