Do you ever get sick and tired of being polite and following the rules? Mr Tiger certainly did.
He lived in a very boring, dull town where everyone spoke properly and dressed...in,well,.. clothes.
They are wild animals though! Mr Tiger knows that, and he starts letting his "freak flag fly" more and more.
First he starts walking on all fours, and feels MUCH more comfortable.
Than he starts "roaring" in public.
Finally he takes things too far by stripping down to his birthday suit in an unfortunate water fountain incident.
This is the last straw for his friends who advise him to go live in the wild, if hes going to behave like that.
So Mr.Tiger runs off to the wilderness to be free, and wild. Hes incredibly happy catching fish and roaring as loud as he likes.
But Mr. Tiger has a new dilemma in the wilderness. Aaaand you'll have to read the book to find out what it is.
Besides being a funny and easy to follow book, the pictures are gorgeous! They have a geometric looking theme throughout the book. They stay with a continuous muted colour pattern throwing in pops of bright colours to add interesting contrasts. The illustrations were made with India ink, watercolour,gouache,and pencil on paper, then digitally composed and coloured. The text was set in Rockwell, and the display type was hand-lettered by the author Peter Brown.
Overall this book is a quick, visually stimulating read for children and adults alike.
Thanks for stopping by! Always, Kass
