Tiptoeing Tiger
Everyone in the forest knew that tigers were sleek, silent, and totally terrifying … but no one took any notice of Little Tiger.
From the creator of The Black Rabbit and How to Catch a Mouse comes the story of Little Tiger, a small tiger who thinks he is sleek, silent and totally terrifying, but just can’t seem to scare a single animal in the forest! He’s just a little too … well, little. He’s determined to prove himself, though, so sets out on tiptoe, creeping through the forest to find someone to scare. Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe… ROAR! But will he find anyone to scare?
