Why read it?

3 authors picked Mr. Tiger Goes Wild as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Mr. Tiger wanted to be wild. He didn't like wearing shirts and top hats.

With his bravery, he decided to go wild and run without clothing. The town didn't know what to think, but after seeing Mr. Tiger being so free, they decided to give it a try. And things started to change and the town became more inclusive.

When we are free to be ourselves, others will see that and build empathy and question, how would that make me feel?

From Benson's list on inclusion and being true to yourself.

Mr. Tiger Goes Wild mixes an amazing yet simple illustration style, with a powerful message about letting yourself go and letting everyone be. The bold mixed-media compositions, the color palette, and the right amount of words help kids and readers to complete the story while learning about individuality and self-expression.

This is one of those books you fall in love with at first sight. The story speaks to adults as well as children, who’ll connect with Mr. Tiger’s desire to run free and go wild. The illustrations are brilliant and the colour palette changes as Mr. Tiger goes from a “proper” civilised animal in a hat and suit to a roaring tiger, prancing naked in the wilderness.

From Fabi's list on children's books with tigers.
