In a drab, gray city full of very proper and polite animals, brilliant orange Mr. Tiger is frustrated with the buttoned-down status quo. After scandalising his genteel neighbours by roaring, walking on all fours, and (gasp!) taking off his clothes, Mr. Tiger flees the city for the freedom of the lush, green wilderness. Eventually, however, he misses his friends, and he returns home to find that the uptight city-dwellers have learned to loosen up. This charming and distinctively illustrated tale of self-expression is sure to grab kids who long for a walk on the wild side. Picture books newsletter, November 2013.
