[David Smither · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very much in the style of "How the birds got their colors," this book is a good modern fable with beautiful illustrations done in watercolors. Tiger facts are in the back, of course. Grades 1-3.
Unique feature: Rainbow Tiger
Genre: "Traditional Literature?" (Real genre: Modern Fable)

By far, one of the most demure children's story we've read! The story was elegantly told, yet simplistic; appropriate for a toddler. The illustrations: handsome. And the message, an honest one.

After watching a beautiful peacock one day, a tiger wished that she was as colorful as a rainbow. When her wish came true, the tiger’s life changed in ways she could never have imagined. Can a tiger change its stripes? This is a picture book with lessons about envy, pride, and individual talents.
