i picked up mr. tiger goes wild after reading about in that npr article about children's books that makes us wish we were kids again. i mean that cover alone lets you know you are in for a treat. also my friend fabian gave it his stamp of approval.
mr. tiger goes wild is not only had beautiful illustrations (as you will see in this post) but it had a wonderful message about being who you are. i also appreciated how mr. tiger went into the wild to discover his true self and then came back to the city and made adjustments to his life. its almost like an into the wild for kids (i am assuming, i haven't read the book or seen the movie).
here is how the story goes. first, first mr. tiger is over being proper.
as the text shared, he wanted to be wild!
so he starts off my walking on all fours.
then he gets crazy and loses his clothes!
and ultimately runs off to be in the wild.
but then mr. tiger became lonely.
so he returns to the city and discovers that . . .
he can be back home and be himself. hooray!!!
a wonderful story for kids of all ages and really great illustrations. i just bought a copy for myself because it definitely needs to be in my book collection.
i will also add that i read it with my favorite little pdc brother lucas and he loved it. so it really is great for kids of all ages, he is two and was excited each time he was able to roar like the tiger. he also pointed out different animals i mentioned. it has his stamp of approval, and he is the cutest kid ever so be sure to check it out!
