This remarkable, stunning board book celebrates the beauty of the world we live in, and the simple happiness it brings us when we open our eyes to it, from the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal winner Catherine Rayner.

Augustus is sad because he has lost his smile. After a HUGE tigery stretch, he sets off to find it, travelling over deserts and mountains – from the tops of the trees to the bottom of the ocean. Can he find his missing smile among the wonders of the world around him? Where on Earth could it be?

Featuring gorgeous, richly-textured watercolour illustrations and a heartwarming text, this wonderful tale is the perfect addition to any child’s nursery. Now available in a chunky board book format, little hands will love to turn the pages during story time to discover where Augustus’ smile might be hiding.
