This book is adorable. A little girl is at her grandmas with her stuffed giraffe. They are a bit board and go outside to find a tiger. But there are no tigers in a garden. Sure, there are dragonflies as big as your head, plants that want to eat you, and a grumpy polar bear, but there are no tigers in the garden. Until there are. This was fun and the illustrations are wonderful. Kids will want this read over and over again. (

The illustrations in this book are very clever. The garden almost looks jungle like at times and the use of white space is stunning. An imaginative British import that reminds readers that boredom is just a state of mind and adventure awaits in outdoor play. (
