Read to Tiger

April 14, 2011 by Sara Leave a Comment

Submitted by Ms. Jill!
The little boy in Read to Tiger by S.J. Fore just wants to read his book! He’s all settled on the couch, with the cushions and the lamp fixed just right, a book in his lap–it’s time to read. But there’s one big problem: Tiger. Noisy, fun-loving Tiger is playing behind the couch, and his antics make it impossible for our young hero to concentrate on his book! First Tiger is loudly chomping on gum. Then he’s growling like a bear. Then he’s Karate Tiger, practicing his kicks with shouts of “Hi-Yah!” Each time, the boy admonishes Tiger to be quiet, and each time Tiger is sorry and promises to stop his noisy play. But the big cat just can’t seem to contain himself. Soon he’s playing train–“Choo! Choo!” And even when the boy finally gets Tiger to lie down quietly, he still manages to interrupt. In the end, the long-suffering young reader finds a solution that makes both boy and tiger happy. (And if you want more Tiger, read his first book, Tiger Can’t Sleep) See this book listed in our catalog
