It''s amazing how easy it is for the tiger to pass himself off as a rug - he enjoys a life of luxury with the rajah''s family, snacking on midnight feasts and playing with his children. He goes entirely undetected, until one night, when he risks expulsion from his comfortable abode as burglars break into the palace and he has to decide whether to stay in disguise as a rug - or save the rajah from a horrible beating.However, tigers who live in houses can have happy endings, as seen in this utterly brilliant picture book.
Ironhead is a lyrical, whimsical children's book that tells the story of a bullying knight who bites off more than he can chew by accepting a challenge to take on a mysterious army he drastically underestimates... Parents will love sharing this humorously illustrated allegorical story about power, responsibility and the dangers of hubris with their children. Ironhead was originally published in 1973 and has been painstakingly restored by Happy Books Press to best show off Gerald Rose's playful, vibrant illustrations.
