Christmas Book Review - Don't Think of Tigers

Today I am very happy to let you know about a clever, fun and wonderfully encouraging book from Penguin Random House - Don't Think of Tigers by Alex Latimer. This book is so much fun to read and I am certain the children you love will enjoy having it read to them as well.

Favorite Features -

• I LOVE the clever illustrations - since I am a fan of tigers, I very much enjoyed all the diverse tigers in this book!
• I truly appreciate the vital message this book so wonderfully communicates - don't give up! We learn through not getting things right and by continuing to work on them, we may find we improve. Wonderful!
• Children are certain to be amused by being told to "not think of tigers!"

Penguin Random House says, "Dream up anything you like, dear reader, and watch it come to life on the next page—just no tigers! This fun read-aloud about creativity and perseverance will have your reader giggling and inspired, all while our hero learns with a bit of practice, even the wildest challenges can be tamed. This book is MAGIC! Imagine anything you like, and the illustrator will draw it on the next page. There's only one rule: DON'T THINK OF TIGERS! Ready?

Oh dear. You thought of tigers, didn't you? Please, think of anything else. A cow doing ballet? No problem! Just no tigers. Our illustrator really, really can't draw tigers...

Or can he? As his hilariously silly and irresistibly charming drawings of tigers improve, Alex Latimer delivers a subtle but important message about practice, creativity, and embracing imperfection. A fun read-aloud which is sure to delight time and time again, this is the perfect book for kids who love to draw—and for those who don't (but might soon!)."

If you are looking for a book to give the children you love which they will want to read again and again - and which will encourage them to try new things and not give up - then Don't Think of Tigers is the book to give them - you will find it at this link.
