Mary's Tiger
Illustrated by Sue Porter
(Orchard Books)
978-1852133238, RRP £2.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
A charmingly illustrated book about a child who takes her painting home from playgroup or nursery and shows it to everyone in her family. They all ask about it and she explains that it's a tiger; she calls him Grin and hangs him on her bedroom wall. During the night he mysteriously turns into a friendly tiger who hides under her pillow. An unusual story with a hint of fantasy that's great fun to read aloud.
