Children’s fiction for World Tiger Day

To go alongside the free resources that I’ve added to My Curious Library I’ve also pulled together some of my favourite children’s tiger fiction. I’ll be adding non-fiction to this through out the week. So If you have any recommends please let me know @curiouskin_uk

Augustus and His Smile by Catherine Rayner

I adore Catherine Rayner’s illustration style and this such a lovely gentle story. I definitely recommend reading this for wind down and quiet time.

The Loudest Road by Thomas Taylor

This isn’t such a well known book but it is a household favourite. I think I have read this more times than The Hungry Caterpillar and We’re Going On A Bear Hunt put together. There’s lots of opportunities to practise being loud and quiet so quiet good for getting the last of the fizzes out! (Not one to read when a sibling is napping). I would recommend this for younger children 2 years upwards.

There’s A Tiger In The Garden by Lizzy Stewart

Definitely a boredom buster! Hopefully this like another firm favourite – The Extraordinary Gardener by Sam Boughton will ignite their imagination.

Boing Boing by Michael Rosen

This poem is found in Michael Rosen’s A Great Big Cuddle – poems for the very young. This is a great book to help work through feelings, get a bit silly and play with words.
