There's a Tiger on the Train
£7.99
We love it because:
- The premise is so brilliantly simple and so perfectly observed, that tension between the absorbed parent and the child who sees EVERYTHING.
- Rebecca Cobb's illustrations carry so much of the comedy and heart, the animals are expressive and joyful and the pug in a boa is an absolute highlight.
- The pacing is just right, the chaos builds gradually and the payoff lands beautifully.
- It reads aloud really well, which matters enormously at the end of a long day when you are on your fifth bedtime story.
- It is funny without being smug, warm without being sugary, and it will make you quietly resolve to put your phone down a bit more (no promises).
