"I am a tiger.
I am BIG.
I am BRAVE.
And I am NOT
afraid of anything ...
... except worms."
There are many things this tiger likes. His confidence is indisputable. He loves flowers, apples, books; that is, if they have nothing to do with worms. Think about it ... flowers live in dirt and worms live in dirt; apples are a delicious snack, unless they house a worm; books are sometimes written about worms! What is a tiger to do?
This tiger does not appreciate their sliminess, their constant moving about, or the fact that it's impossible to tell which end is which. EWWW! As the flower pot is dropped and broken, the apple chomped and discarded, and a new book he thinks must be about worms thrown aside, the tiger hastens away.
That leaves the worms to express their fear of tigers. They also appreciate what the tiger has left behind, including a book about tigers. They are willing to read it to learn more ...
"Oh, wow.
I did not know
tigers are so BIG.
I did not know
tigers are so BRAVE.
I did not know tigers
are NOT afraid of
anything!"
They are soon off with offers of appreciative worm hugs ... if only they can catch tiger.
Again, this is exactly the book that will inspire little ones to read. How could they resist? Full of humor, emotions, and perfect pacing, this book will have listeners clamoring to read it again! And then again! You know the drill.
It is a brilliant addition to the Elephant and Piggie Love Reading series. There are six others. Please look for them!
