About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is fixated on wanting more of everything, from toys to treats. "Tiger Wants More" is not a single story but a collection of short, deeply whimsical tales by the beloved British author Donald Bisset. The title story perfectly captures the feeling of insatiable desire through a tiger who wants more stripes, only to learn a gentle lesson about contentment. Other stories feature a friendly talking bus and various other animal friends. These tales use absurdity and gentle humor to explore themes of friendship, gratitude, and finding joy in what you have. It's an excellent first chapter book for independent readers or a delightful read-aloud for younger children, offering a charming way to start conversations about big feelings without being preachy.
