Synopsis:
A tiger carries a dining room chair on her back. But why? Where is she going? With just one word per page, in lush, color-rich landscapes, we learn about the features that make up our world: an archipelago, a dune, an isthmus, a lagoon. Across them all, the tiger roams. An enigmatic investigation of our world's most beautiful places from bestselling author Dave Eggers, beautifully illustrated by debut artist Angel Chang.

Our Thoughts:


This beautiful picture book shares a white Bengal tiger's journey around and through most of the better natural things in the world. From the plains to a river gorge, through an estuary to an atoll, this tiger travels near and far, sharing each and every new discovery on his journey. 

With gorgeous full-color illustrations, this book shares many natural geographic landscapes that can be found around the world, from islands to mountains to the valleys and forests in between. 

With only one word describing the landscape on each page, this book is simple and quick to get through, but there's a visual story mixed in with a fun and happy ending. There is a glossary at the end explaining each of these geographic landscapes and end pages with the world map on them!
