Off They Run
Pulished by Magic Cat, 2024
A tiger chases a monkey who chases a lizard…
Off They Run is a looping story set in the jungles of India. Read it one way and you’ll follow a tiger chasing a monkey through the undergrowth. Reach the end, flip the book upside down, and you’ll find the monkey chasing a lizard through the treetops. Keep going and the story circles back to the start — again and again.
It was written by Katie Cotton (who edited The Cave, way back when), and I made the artwork using hand-cut stamps. We had a lot of fun figuring out how the flip-around mechanism would work.
