This tiger used to be small, but not any more. Now this tiger is the oldest, which means this tiger is BIG. But the jungle is even BIGGER and full of big creatures . . .
It's a scary place for a tiger alone. But don't worry tiger, Mum is never far behind! You might be too big for kisses and too big for tears, but no matter how big you get, you are NEVER too big for a hug.
Perfect for older siblings who are still quite little themselves, this joyful jungle adventure perfectly captures a child's first steps towards independence and the unbreakable bond between parents and children.
Big Tiger is utterly relatable and full of heart - a standout title from worldwide bestseller, Marta Altés.
