About this title

Synopsis

The premise of "What's in that tree?" is an old visual riddle - two vertical lines with four circles, that turn out to be a bear in a tree. From there, each successive "animal in a tree" tries to one-up the previous one, avoiding repetition - unless it is to mislead the reader.

This picture book is intended for very young children - playing peek-a-boo is an atavistic delight for any baby or toddler. At the same time, the adult who reads it to their child will find some pleasure in it as well, and the preschooler who starts to read will discover words and creatures that are beyond the classic staple of barnyard animals - not to mention the fun of being in on a joke.

About the Author

Francois Luks is pediatric surgeon, author and illustrator. In a prior life, he supported himself by creating daily comic strips for several newspapers (in Belgium, his home country) and writing and illustrating for a weekly children's supplement. As his medical and academic career grew, his illustrations became more scientific. In his daily practice, however, he talks a lot to children and their parents - and while he doesn't claim any child psychology expertise, he has become adept at putting children of all ages at ease in sometimes challenging situations. In doing so, he has learned how to make children smile, and knows they often understand much more than we think. You are never too young to have an aha moment.
