Tiger in My Soup (First Book Special Edition)
When a boy is left in the care of his older sister, he begs her to read him his favorite book, but she is too absorbed in her own reading to pay him any attention. She won't be distracted, even when the boy finds a ravenous tiger hiding in his soup! His sister misses all the action; only after the steamy beast is slain does she return to the table with her brother and finally agree to read to him. But is the tiger really gone?
Woven throughout Ebbeler's whimsical and energetic art is the story of a young boy determined to make his older sister read aloud his favorite story about a ferocious tiger. When she repeatedly puts him off, his imagination takes over and the tiger springs from his alphabet soup. An epic battle commences between the orange beast and kitchen-appliance-armored boy, all behind the back of his distracted sister. While our hero eventually gets both his story and his reheated soup, he keeps a wary eye out for the tiger's return.
Sheth's portrayal of the sibling relationship is spot-on, and kids will be immediately drawn to this over-the-top adventure.
