Description
I arch my back high, feel my night tiger paws
and night tiger claws stalk across the grass,
flick my tiger tail, twitch my tiger ears,
growl my night tiger groooooowwwwwl.
After the sun sets, the night creeps in and it's time for bed. But darkness shrinks as the full moon springs up above the trees, lighting the garden and inviting a child to take on an intrepid night-time adventure, prowling the back garden with the family cat.
A glorious and poetic celebration of imagination, courage and daring.
This book is perfect for:
- Reading a gorgeous, gentle bedtime story
- Readers who love the wonder of Where the Wild Things Are
- Nurturing the power of imagination to work through difficult feelings
- Fostering courage, confidence and a sense of wonder
