Reviews

[Samantha Glasser · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cute story about a tiger who sees his reflection but thinks it is a tiger underwater in need of rescue. The book has the hallmarks of a fleshed out story (plot, conflict, a lesson) while introducing a variety of jungle animals along the way.

[Josef Komensky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very nice story about little but very brave tiger Colvish who wants to rescue his mirror water image. Because of so many different illustrations the reader can also discuss each and every illustrations separately.

[Jenna Mills · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh. Okay but not particularly interesting.

[Laura Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good children’s book easy read (read to my cousin)

[Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lighthearted take on the Narcissus myth reshaped for the kids? A parable that we can do more than we realize? A nice little story to read to the kids before bed? A tasty treat when the kids want to put the book in their mouths instead of listening to daddy sing-song read it to them? Yes.

A tiger discovers its true essence by staring at its reflection. The truth about what its hippopotamus mentor is doing in an Asian swamp remains elusive.
