How come I only discovered this picture book today? I would have loved it when I was little (completely hypothetical - I'm basically the same age as Gaiman). I'll try it on the grandchild...

vlwelser The audiobook is magic. 4mo

Felt a bit slow to get going, but I like how all the threads wove together, and especially how the loose ends tied up. Admittedly whenever animals are involved in this series, it can move from suspenseful mystery to anxiety for me.
On that note, fellow vegans ⚠️ beware of not only animal death but animal dismemberment, plus a side plot fanatical animal rights activist who's apparently okay with killing people?! 1/2

Robotswithpersonality I feel like the immigrant workforce -> slave labour pipeline side plot was an area that could have been fleshed out more unless it is being held in reserve for a future book in the series. I don't know that characters' reactions to descriptions of traditional Chinese medicine including certain animal parts counts as sinophobia, but I can't remember a single favourable thing said about any Chinese person in this book, either. 🫤

Robotswithpersonality Very glad Frankie wasn't fridged, but can't help feeling her role in this one was restricted to 'get beat up, feed the plot'. Here's to hoping her smarts will be as emphasized as her physical assets in later books, and likewise that her sister does something besides put herself and those around her in jeopardy. 🤦🏼‍♂️ 6mo

I had this book as a kid in the wee years of the 90s and gods how far along we came as a society and how horridly racist this book was

blurb

Mr Tiger Goes Wild | Peter Brown

This children‘s book could be used in a classroom to share the message with children that being different is nothing to be ashamed of. That everyone has something different to bring to this world, and that we shouldn‘t be scared to share it with those around us. Because who knows it may bring out feelings in others that they didn‘t know they possessed.

The use of color in the illustrations throughout this book help the reader to more clearly identify tiger as an “outlier“. For he is a vibrant color orange, while the other characters and objects are composed of very dark and dim colors. Later in the book when tiger finds himself in an environment where he sees he fits in, the colors depict this through the use of more vibrant and diverse colors than seen earlier in the story.
