Similar to the style of Eric Carl, the art work in this book is very simple, but very eye catching with the bold colours on a plain background and the amusing characters create a fun and creative design. I like this style and I want to explore how I could incorporate this into my book with the colour and design.
The Tiger who came to Tea –
The simple typography on the plain background makes the images on the page bold and the main feature of the story, which is the interesting and funny narrative.

I also looked into the context of the story and the BBC published this article about it –

In this, Judith Kerr talks about thinking whether the Tiger should have clothes and the approaches to design, and is interesting how she thinks about the design of the characters and the tiger.
I really like the design style of Judith Kerr and the plain, yet bold colour in ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ and I would like to include a similar style in my book.
