About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child needs a dose of pure, whimsical fun that encourages imagination without any stress or high stakes. 'Oh Dear', Said Tiger is a charming collection of very short, surreal stories about a friendly tiger and his animal companions. The tales are delightfully nonsensical, exploring gentle themes of friendship, creativity, and the joy of simple, silly problems. For example, Tiger might lose his stripes in the wash or a bus might decide it wants to live in a river. Perfect for early independent readers or as a gentle read-aloud at bedtime, this book is a wonderful way to introduce children to the magic of storytelling where anything is possible and every problem has a funny, creative solution.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This book is remarkably free of any sensitive material. The conflicts are low-stakes and fantastical, with no peril, sadness, or complex emotional themes.
Ideal Reader
A newly independent reader, age 6 or 7, who delights in silliness and is not yet ready for complex plots or high-stakes conflict. It is also an excellent read-aloud for a creative 4 or 5-year-old who enjoys make-believe and can follow non-linear, absurd logic. This is for the child who finds joy in pure imagination over structured narrative.
