A little boy is getting ready for the start of first grade, but first comes the family campout.  This year there’s a new family member – a tiger has joined them.  But this tiger has the little boy’s back as the last days of summer wind down. 

I must totally be missing the point this time.  When the tiger takes the 6-year-old boy out in a canoe on the lake, all I could think about was how dangerous that was! And then I what?  What is this supposed to be about?  Someone tell me.
