Never Tickle a Tiger

by Pamela Butchart

illustrated by Marc Boutavant

This is a cute story of a girl and her ability to not stay still and the adventure she takes to the zoo. My daughter especially loved this books because the main character is always full of a ton of energy and she could relate to the main character. It is a cute and clever story that you would not be able to guess what is going to happen.

The words are fun and it introduces you to many animals. I  love the colorful hand drawn illustrations. I like the composition it flows. I am not a fan of pages that fold out there is only one section like this and I understand it is to add to the story but it is frustrating for me because the kids like to pull the pages and they get torn easy or the fold every which way.

Very cute story! I like to read this at the beginning or middle because the kids like to point at the animals and tell me about this animal or that and then they get excited at the climax of the story laughing and pointing.

Don't Wake Up The Tiger

by Britta Teckentrup

My kids love this book. This book lacks substance in conveying

a lesson but makes up with plain good old fun and encourages

the reader to get interactive and involved with the story.

My kids love to sing, touch, and sing again with this story of a

sleeping tiger and his friends celebrating his birthday.

My daughter likes to tell the characters every time

to walk around the tiger she is invested in the story with the first page.

My son loves any chance to sing or yell and he loves the anticipation at the end.

I love how excited and involved my kids get with this story.

It is just pure fun.

The illustrations are fun and I love the geometric shapes and sponge

like effect. The composition is horizontal and consistent.

I read this at the beginning of story time because the

kids get animated and excited with the stories anticipation and interaction.
