Description

Herman the tiger is grumpy because of all the noisy neighbors around him at the zoo.

But when a defenseless little egg falls into his lap, suddenly the cranky cats mood changes.

A playful celebration of family, our wonderful differences, and the transformative power of love.

Reviews

*Starred Review. Matte watercolors (buttercup yellows, teal greens, and fuchsia reds) delight as well, making joyous striations as branches, bark, water, ground, leaves, fur. Vivid, multidirectional, and abundant, the cheerful clash of colors captures the teeming life and sound inside the animal enclosure. -- "Kirkus Reviews"
