A Tiger Like Me by Michael Engler - ADVISIBLE

A Tiger Like Me
by Michael Engler, illustrated by Joelle Tourlonias, translated by Laura Watkinson. PICTURE BOOK. Amazon Crossing Kids, 2019. $17.

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – ADVISIBLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Experience a day in the life of a young boy-tiger as he navigates the complexities of satisfying his tiger appetite, avoiding baths because all that soap and water cannot be good for a tiger, stalking in the wilds of his livingroom, and cuddling with his family. 

Charming illustrations bring to life a cute story translated from the original German. This would be an ideal read aloud book with many opportunities for fun with the playful prose. The reader will not be able to avoid Calvin and Hobbes comparisons, but the overall experience will be enjoyable.
