To Market! To Market!
A much-loved Tara classic children`s title is released in paperback for the first time. In India, a little girl goes to her local market, and her mother gives her a pocketful of change. But the girl has no idea what to buy – perhaps `something funny, nice or even strange`. But among the rich and colorful wonders of the market, from jolly bangle sellers to massive spice stands, flower shops to mask makers, she finds that the real fun`s not in the buying after all! She loves discovering wonderful, colorful stalls: “Jangle, Jangle, Jangle, I`m a bangle-holding stand,” and “Silly, Silly, Silly, I`m a chili sort of sneeze.” Told in Anushka Ravishankar`s inimitable nonsense verse and illustrated in Emanuele Scanziani`s vibrant paintings, this children`s story is a bold and busy tribute to the vitality of everyday India. Award-winning Italian artist Emanuele Scanziani has created an exuberant Indian market with innovative typography that combines with the nonsense-verse to make a truly sumptuous, vibrant feast.
