| Mr. Tiger Goes Wild |
By Peter Brown
Mr. Tiger lives in a proper town with proper
buildings. He and all his animal friends
wear fancy clothes and hats, and know just how to behave at all times. They walk on two feet instead of four, and
they say things like “Good day” and “I suppose”. They drink tea out of lovely teacups and when
they address their children they politely say, “Please do not act like wild
animals.”
But Mr. Tiger soon gets tired of all this propriety. Then he has a wild idea. First he starts walking on all fours. Then, shockingly, he takes off his clothes. He soon disappears into the jungle, leaving
his disapproving friends behind.
The jungle is an adventure, but Mr. Tiger soon finds it
lonely and returns to town, only to find that change has taken place and some
of his friends have followed his lead!
Peter Brown helps children discover that losing your inhibitions is just what is needed at times. Is it alright to be different? Is it OK to be yourself? Mr. Tiger proves that yes, being yourself is
the best way to be. And eventually, your
friends will come around.
