Synopsis

One day Tom draws a tiger, inspired by his visit to the art gallery... That night, when Tom can't sleep, the tiger pads out of his drawing and purrs, "Let's go for a walk!" It's the beginning of a magical and life-changing adventure, as the tiger helps Tom to overcome some of his biggest fears.

About this title

Review:

"Captivating illustrations by Jesse Hodgson." * Just Imagine * "Wonderfully atmospheric illustrations reflect the story perfectly...A lovely reassuring story about overcoming bedtime fears - a perfect story to share." * Parents in Touch * "Your senses are immediately stimulated as you start to read...this entrancing tale of a little boy's transformation from fearful to fearless. It's fantastic to see a painting such as this one of Henri Rousseau's used as the starting point for the story. Jesse Hodgson's arresting tigerish scenes...have just the right balance of ferocity, realism and reassurance as befits a bedtime story." * Red Reading Hub * "The illustrations are richly coloured and stunning...the language is beautiful with lovely imagery. A perfect story for bedtime reading." * Books for Keeps 5 star review *
