What do our readers think of Mr Tiger Goes Wild? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy Mr Tiger’s silly behaviour, colourful pictures and chances to roar along with the story. They especially find his wild antics funny and like the message that it is good to be yourself.

What does the Pageticker team say about Mr Tiger Goes Wild?

Peter Brown gives us a gloriously cheeky picture book about throwing off dull rules and finding a happier way to be yourself. Mr Tiger’s roaring, bottom-walking rebellion is great fun, while the story gently reminds children that freedom works best when it leaves room for friendship and consideration. Expect plenty of giggles, dramatic roars and perhaps even some enthusiastic prowling around the sitting room.

What is Mr Tiger Goes Wild about?

Mr Tiger is tired of his dull, proper life in the city. Yearning for excitement, he sheds his suit, roars loudly, and runs on all fours, embracing his wild side. But when his antics shock his friends and he retreats to the wilderness, Mr Tiger realises that being wild can be lonely. Returning home, he discovers that his boldness has inspired others to express themselves, leading to a more vibrant and accepting community.
