In this delightful role-reversal story, all the serious little boy wants is to settle down quietly and read his book. But that’s not so easy when there’s an imaginative tiger with an excess of energy behind the couch, wanting attention and someone to play with. Repetitive refrains and sound effects make this a perfect read-aloud, and the sweet and cozy ending will delight the heart of any book-lover.

What’s more, on the same extraordinary day, he meets Sistine Bailey, a girl who shows her feelings as readily as Rob hides his. As they learn to trust each other, and ultimately, to be friends, Rob and Sistine prove that some things—like memories, and heartache, and tigers—can’t be locked up forever.

Honor thy gift. I had so much to give. I just scratched the surface. I fell in love and turned my back on a God given talent. That is what hurts my heart the most. But in spite of the wrong choices I made, I thank God that I have been so very lucky all my life. It's all in the book. Did Steve Allen just announce our names and Deep Purple as the Best Rock and Roll Record of the year? Or am I hearing things? It was May 12, 1964, and my brother, Nino, and I were at our first Grammy Award dinner at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. My mouth was full of the food I was chewing, and I thought my hearing was impaired. But the look on Nino's face said it all. His eyes were glazed over, and he was staring at one spot, kind of bewildered looking. He stood up and moved toward the stage in a daze, and I followed, gulping my food down. The applause was so loud! The audience was so happy for us! How did this happen? How did we get here? This was the beginning. How did Carol Vincinette Lo Tempio become April Stevens? What famous Texas millionaire did she fall in love with? Why would a rising star end her career as it was ascending? How was her life changed? How did she manage after all collapsed? How many more romances did she have? How did she recover her career? What was her biggest thrill professionally? What is the "final chapter" in her story? April tells all in her book " TEACH ME TIGER."

Esteemed author Eve Bunting brings all her insight, empathy, and storytelling skill to this powerful allegorical tale, set in the streets of an unnamed city and illustrated with striking woodcuts. Danny, new to town, is proud when a glittery-eyed tiger invites him for a ride. He climbs up onto the tiger’s massive back, and together they cruise the neighborhood. Everyone gives them respect—shopkeepers and passersby, even other kids. Danny feels powerful and much older than ten. Soon, though, he realizes it isn’t respect people feel for him and the tiger—it’s fear. And when he decides to get down off the tiger’s back, he discovers it’s a lot harder than climbing on. Whether the tiger is interpreted to represent gangs, drugs, or something else altogether, this poetically told, dramatically illustrated book is sure to provoke discussions about temp-tation, peer pressure, and conformity.
