There's a Tiger on the Train, written by Mariesa Dulak, illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, reviewed by Pippa Goodhart

 

My three year old grandson absolutely loves this book, and so do I. It has rhythm and rhyme, naughtiness, peril, fun, and a solidly happy ending, all served up with a lovely rhyming text and beautiful pictures. 

'You'll never guess what happened 

On our trip down to the sea ...

A tiger in a top hat

Came and sat right next to me!

He growled a gruff, 'Good morning',

Took a comic from his hat,

Then disappeared behind it.

'Hey Dad! Did you see THAT?'

But Dad is intent on his phone. He doesn't notice the tiger. Nor does he notice the growing chaos of other animal passengers getting into the train.

Not until the Tiger ...

...  and eats the phone! Then, ...

And at last our narrator child has Dad's full attention ...

A book that pleases on so many fronts. Highly recommended.
