Mr. Tiger Goes Wild by Peter Brown5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Attending dignified tea parties and engaging in the usual chitchat about the weather that day. Sporting starched collars and silk top hats. Now prepare to turn said pages over and over and over again. With influences as diverse as Rousseau and 1960s Disney animators, Brown creates a wholly believable universe in a scant number of pages. Hard to believe that the man who started out with Flight of the Dodo and Chowder has figured out how one goes about writing and illustrating modern day classics. It is rare to find a picture book this easy to love on sight, but author/illustrator Peter Brown is beginning to perfect his form. I am no cataloger, nor do I particularly mind it when they attribute terms of this sort to picture books, but anyone can see that this is a pretty amusing way to describe a book about a tiger with issues with civilization. The very first one reads, “Self-actualization (Psychology)”. ![]() Now scroll down until you find the Library of Congress subject headings for this title. It’s the green one opposite the title page at the beginning of the book. Find yourself a copy of the picture book Mr. Here’s a fun exercise to liven up a gloomy day. ![]()
