“The Tiger’s Egg” was just ok to me. I liked the illustrations, and the story was cute, but the ending was a bit abrupt to me.

A disgruntled tiger gets hit on the head, but loses his anger when he sees it’s an egg. Immediately he decides he’ll take care of it, then the bird which hatches from it. Eventually the little avian thinks it’s a tiger too, putting it in a dangerous situation that mirrors the opening page quite nicely.
This tiger is the old grumpy man—uncle, neighbor, etc—who secretly gives you candy when your mom’s not looking (not in a creepy way). Though it regrets letting the bird pretend to be something it’s not, he’s kind enough to let it lie till the next morning, allowing the small creature to bask in its victory. The tiger doesn’t want anyone to know about this quirk in his personality, never noticing the toucan and monkey are hanging above him, watching everything.
The artwork is rudimentary—wish the bird could have been done better—but otherwise serviceable.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

This book starts off quite promising. It was a funny, entertaining tale with gorgeous vibrant illustrations. Seeing this little bird being cuddled by the big, scary tiger was adorable. It is similar to a fable where nurture turns this little bird into a scary tiger bird and the miserable tiger softens when taking care of this small dependent animal. My biggest issue was that the story suddenly ends. I tried to turn the page only to find out there was no more. Not sure if I would recommend this one or not.

The Tiger and the Egg is a charming little book for young children. The illustrations for this children's book about a tiger who adopts a baby bird are simply beautiful. I was wowed by the colors! The text is not for toddlers, but for preschool children who are able to follow longer storylines. Children who love animals, especially tigers, should enjoy this. I felt it had an odd ending, which abruptly stopped, but perhaps it is to encourage conversation. Parents and teachers can help children fill in the blanks by using their imaginations.
This book for preschool aged children will be well received. A solid four stars!

Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for a pre-publication ebook in exchange for an honest review.

The colors and illustrations for this children's book about a bored tiger who adopts a baby bird are absolutely gorgeous. Children who love animals, especially tigers, should enjoy this. However, the book ends rather abruptly and doesn't fully explain how the baby bird escaped from the pelican. Parents and caregivers with good imaginations can help children fill in the blanks.

This book tells the tale of a tiger in the zoo who adopts a baby chick, and teaches him to be a tiger!

It was so cute! I loved everything about it and can’t wait to purchase it

A funny quirky and very entertaining tale, told with such a magical flair, it held me captivated to the end, a book to bring a smile to any kid’s face, they would have a good laugh while reading along. This book is highly entertaining with its fun illustrations which are vibrant and eye-catching. A mishap with a twist, a fun kids book which teaches them about caring for others even though they are way different than themselves.

What do you think would happen if a tiger tried to raise a little baby bird. In storybook land, only good things. Our little bird even begins to think like a tiger. His TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET alone can scare off nasty predators. The illustrations at once make me think Leoni, but also a little Eric Carle while still being truly unique.

This is a charming book for preschool aged children. The illustrations are brightly coloured, attractive and a good illustration of what is happening in the story. I do feel that the story ended very abruptly but small children will not worry about that. Young children will be charmed by the beautiful illustrations, the kind Tiger and the brave little chick.

A tiger in a zoo, finds an egg, hatches it, builds a nest for it, and raises it for his own. The baby bird is told he is a cross between a tiger and a bird, known as a tiger bird. Herman, the tiger, teaches his little bird to roar to protect himself, and roar he does, as shown below.

A cute enough story. Not sure of the point, other than perhaps you can be whatever you want to be, even if you are a bird? It seemed to be over very quickly, which is sometimes how it is with picture books.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I absolutely adore this book! I love this story about the big tiger and his mini me and the illustrations are just so gorgeous and eye-catching. This book is stunning! I will definitely be purchasing this for my son's library collection.

I thought to get a lot more out of this. Yes, the visuals are lovely, but as for the story… A tiger who lives in a zoo (even if the script never specifies that, we're just left to guess) finds a small egg in his territory, and overnight manages to rear a little bird, who instantly thinks it too has the power of the biggest of big cats. It's supposed to be a fable regarding nurture over nature – that where we come from is no proof of where we're going – but some implausibility, and a really sudden stop to the book without a real end, means I can't recommend it. One and a half stars.

I really liked the bold colours of the illustrations in this book. Just gorgeous! The story was a little light, but it makes for a quick read with a little absurd humour there to keep the kiddos giggling. I found the ending a bit abrupt, but I don't think most kids would mind at all.

This one was so funny! I think even littles will get the humor of a small bird, adopted by a tiger, thinking it will grow up to be a tiger, too! The story isn't very long and I hope it will have a sequel. The illustrations were really cute!
