Oh Dear, Said Tiger charms readers with its dreamlike logic and short chapters that turn minor mishaps into silly, low stakes triumphs. The stories treat every object and animal as a potential friend, creating a safe world where imagination dictates the rules. Books in this family share a sense of gentle absurdity, brief narratives, and a playful disregard for reality.
A parent might reach for this book when their child needs a dose of pure, whimsical fun that encourages imagination without any stress or high stakes. 'Oh Dear', Said Tiger is a charming collection of very short, surreal stories about a friendly tiger and his animal companions. The tales are delightfully nonsensical, exploring gentle themes of friendship, creativity, and the joy of simple, silly problems. For example, Tiger might lose his stripes in the wash or a bus might decide it wants to live in a river. Perfect for early independent readers or as a gentle read-aloud at bedtime, this book is a wonderful way to introduce children to the magic of storytelling where anything is possible and every problem has a funny, creative solution.
