PERSONAL REACTION:
I love this book! It is so fun to read, my 2yr old LOVES when I read this book. Even though he knows what to expect on the next page it still gets him excited.
CLASSROOM EXTENSIONS:
1.) Make the book interactive. During story time, the children can stand and be ready to move around. Through out the book the little boy and you are running from a tiger, it describes different actions and as it does the whole class can do them with the little boy.
2.) Tie the book into a social studies lesson plan. The book offers many different locations and animals associated with the jungle. Discuss with the class what kind of other animals they might find, let them create a jungle scene with some off the animals talked about.

A fun, colorful romp perfect for reading aloud.

We're a bit too old now for this type of books, at four, but it's a great read aloud for toddlers and up. The graphics are what would make this book memorable to me, they have a very interesting texture, or lack of texture maybe more precisely. Some sort of plastic quality to them, even with the

I love the way this book actually begins before it begins - the inside front dust cover draws the reader in by addressing them directly, as part of the story. The various fonts and abundance of punctuation work well to teach expression, use of punctuation and because it's a circle pattern the kids

This is the story of little boy who wants to hear a story, but wait...what is that? IT'S A TIGER! That tiger refuses to leave him alone, and he wants to eat me for lunch too you know.

This is very similar in tone to "More Bears", but shorter. I might try this out for pre-school story time.

tells the tale of a little boy who is just minding his own business when A TIGER!! appears. Before the turn of each page, the reader (and listener) are left in anticipation of a tiger attack. It's ridiculous and fun and a great excuse to get your little readers involved by asking them questions and having them scream out IT'S A TIGER with you. Show Less

Such a fun, interactive read that I imagine will become more fun as little e gets older and wiser.

SO STINKING CUTE. This is a perfect read-aloud for storytimes--just make sure to get the kids standing up so they can RUN and SWIM FOR IT along with you.
If you have older kids or if you've read it before, invite the kids to raise their hands or touch their noses or something if/when they see the
