Tiger and Me
Illustrated by Susie Jenkin-Pearce
Unsentimental, highly moral (and none the worse for it story of a little girl who decides to do something about the keeping of tigers in captivity. It's given additional punch by being written in lively verse which manages to be simple in style and complex in content. The message is put over clearly enough for very young children, but with plenty for older ones to discuss. Is it true for instance, that: Wrongs can be righted If your are determined. If not, why not? And what evidence, one way or the other, can you provide? Lots to think about, high quality writing and charming artwork.
