Summary
Ten-year-old Danny is bored and lonely when he hops on the back of the exciting and somewhat scary tiger that offers him a ride, but he soon discovers that it's easier to get on the tiger than it is to get off.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
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 tigerâs massive back, and together they cruise the neighborhood. Everyone gives them respectâshopkeepers and passersby, even other kids. Danny feels powerful and much older than ten. Soon, though, he realizes it isnât respect people feel for him and the tigerâitâs fear. And when he decides to get down off the tigerâs back, he discovers itâs 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.
