To Market! To Market!

Anushka Ravishankar, Illustrated by Emanuele Scanziani

A little girl sets off to market with some money in her pocket - and no idea what to buy...

In a bouncy, dynamic modern-day nursery rhyme, well-known children's poet Anushka Ravishankar suggests that the real fun may not be in the buying, after all. Featuring vibrant paintings by award-winning Italian artist Emanuele Scanziani, this is an exuberant pictorial tribute to the Indian market. Designer Rathna Ramanathan's innovative typography creates a unique cohesion between the verse and artwork of each scene - every element on the page adds to the story.
