About This Book

A tame tiger raised in a traveling circus feels homesick for a distant jungle and navigates life among performing animals and handlers. Short, episodic chapters portray his mood swings, quarrels and reconciliations with fellow creatures, playful tricks and practical jokes, and comic mishaps such as cage wrecks and runaway moments. He leaves the tent for adventures in barns, city streets, subways and docks, embarks on a ship, and ultimately encounters jungle scenes, meeting new animal friends along the way. The stories blend light adventure with gentle lessons about kindness, belonging and the pull of home for young readers.

And into his mouth it would go 22
Off slid the tiger cage 42
He dropped his basket 56
The whitewash splashed out and splattered on the tame tiger 76
But the man was asleep and did not see the tiger 98
Tamba ran and soon he was on the Indian wharf 118
