The tiger family is delighted to be reunited--and gran now sees that she's been sharing her house with... a tiger!

Our Thoughts:
When your grandmother already owns too many cats to count, it's no big deal to find one you've never seen before... but Grandma has lost her glasses and can't see that this new cat is a little different. He's a little too big, a little too hungry, and a little too much like a tiger!
This picture book is fun and humorous with cute and colorful illustrations! It's so very clear that this is no ordinary 'cat' but grandma can't tell and so the tiger assimilates into her and Isobel's lives, making them that much more fun!
We loved seeing how the other cats reacted to the new 'cat' throughout the story. The extra commentary from the original cats through hand-drawn signs made this extra silly!
