What is My Tiger about?

My tiger loves cake, so we visit the cake shop together. But after too many sugary treats, his tooth begins to hurt, and a trip to the dentist becomes unavoidable. The waiting room is frightening, the chair is uncomfortable, and the dentist’s advice is impossible to swallow: no more cake! As the tiger considers what he should eat instead, Joy Cowley’s dry humour and David Barrow’s bold illustrations build towards a surprising, mischievous ending that celebrates a tiger’s true nature.
