Welcome to Litsy!

(I am rereading books for the upcoming school year!) Such a mournful book, but it‘s beautifully done (as is almost everything by DiCamillo). A caged tiger, a motherless boy, and a girl who is a tiger are great characters. They all come together in a sad, but freeing, conclusion. Love this book.

This 2001 Newburry winning book is a story of a young boy who lives in a hotel with his father. He finds a tiger in a cage in the woods near the hotel, and the book centers around him and a young bullied girl trying to set the tiger free. I would definitely recommend this book!

This is such an incredible book on grieving while trying to avoid grieving.

The Sistine Chapel. Beginning in 1492, the simple brick building has hosted numerous papal conclaves, during which cardinals gather to vote on a new pope. Also, Sistine, a MC in The Tiger Rising was named after the chapel. #litsyspringbreak Prompt: Rome. This chapel is my favorite place.

I finished this delightful MG book today. Katie DiCamillo is one of my favorite authors. She does such an amazing job with delivering emotional, real topics in a way that relates to younger audiences, but her writing also resonates with readers of all ages. 💚

This book deals with grief, friendship, loneliness, and also finding happiness even in the difficult times.

A young boy and a young girl not-dealing with the loss of a parent. This was her second book and it reminded me of her Raymie Nightingale series. She explores some serious questions about life and living, not sure at what age one is truly ready to go there.

This F novel can be a window for children who hasn‘t experienced the lost of a loved one yet. Or a mirror for children who are currently coping with grief. This could be a beneficial LC book. cpalms.org/uploads/resources/63324/The_Tiger_Rising_Literature_Circle_Questions_with_Possible_Answers.docx UDL 9.2, ESOL 10

I highly recommend this precious book to everyone. It has meaningful takeaways for children and adults alike.

The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo is a RF book that I would use as an IR or LC. It was the National Book Award Finalist in 2001. The story is about a boy named Rob that finds a tiger locked in a cage in the middle of the woods. He meets a girl named Sistine, and they must learn how to work together and trust each other. #UCFLAE3414SU19

The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillio is a RF novel with so many themes and hidden messages. This book is perfect for LC because your students WILL want to discuss what they think about the book. The story is so moving and a fantastic read! I 10/10 recommend this book! #LAE3414Sp19

A great RF read about friendship and family relationship. UDL foster collaboration and community.ELL Promote cooperation. 2 very different children find each other and become close friends. They decide to free a tiger and what happens next is heartbreaking. Would use as IR or LC followed by class discussion.

Started this one today and hopefully l manage to finish it today as well! I'm reading it outside for booktubeathon and today was just about the perfect day to read outside. The weather was amazing and I didn't get bit 6 times unlike last time I attempted to read outside.

My first @Litsypenpals letters are going out. At least I can get something done.

Not my favorite by her, but everything she writes is wonderful. #readathon

#readathon time! Since I have to leave in about an hour for a prior engagement, I'm starting with something short to make myself feel accomplished! @DeweysReadathon

Hooray for a generous donation from a neighbor friend for our Little Free Library!

Looks like this tiger not going to rise anytime soon... #doratheexplorertigercat #catslovebookstoo
