Customer Reviews

love this book

My son loves this book! It has a wonderful message, beautiful artwork and its a fun one for language building. Great find!

Brings up a good theme while being very silly

I met this author at a reading festival who told us about this book and I loved it! The book is illustrated in a wonderful way, with the town's people looking grey and sad. Then we see a bright Mr. Tiger wearing his grey suit and looking bored but he finds the courage to break what society should say you should do and be a colorful cat! This book shows children that being yourself is much more fun than trying to be like everyone else, and if you are honest with yourself, you will find others like you.
