:) Sometimes we all get a little bored with being civilized.

Prim and proper Mr. Tiger lives in a society that looks to be 1920 England by their clothing. He tires of following the rules and want to go "wild." After some nonsense, his friends tell him to leave for the wilderness. He does and has a wonderful time running "naked." That is until he misses his friends and decides to go back for them. When he arrives back intown, he finds these have changed and his friends all follow him back to the wilderness. This is a cute story, and that is about it. Great to read once, suitable for ages 3-5.

Can you tell I've been to the library?

Took about fifteen minutes to read, but now I want my own hard copy.
This book is fantastic. The illustrations are gorgeous.
A real kick of positivity and encouragement. With a dash of tolerance mixed in.

FINAL VERDICT : BUY THE BOOK!

(no, I don't care it's basically a kid book, adults could benefit from it too) (
