Tiger Troubles
Book Review
I like tigers and was happy to find out that the tiger in this book is a girl
I liked Tiger Troubles because I like tigers and nearly at the end of the book I found out the tiger was a girl which made it even better. (The girl tigers have eyebrows and the boys don’t). Before I read this book I never even heard of a sloth bear!
The story is like a chain, where all the animals hurt each other. When Sloth Bear couldn’t sleep and got bored because it was nap time in the jungle, she looked for a porcupine to throw fruit at, like she usually does. So Porcupine had to run away from Sloth Bear, and he bounced on Crocodile’s head but of course Crocodile didn’t like that.
Crocodile accidentally chomped on Elephant, causing Elephant to run into Sloth Bear’s tree, which knocked Sloth Bear off who fell onto Tiger. Then Tiger got a bit grumpy and wanted to eat all of the animals in the end.

All Sloth Bear wants to do is play with Porcupine but it’s nap time in the jungle and all the other animals are sleeping. So she throws a guava at Porcupine’s tree to wake him up and SPLAT! THUD! BUMP!
Little Tiger gets woken up too! And Little Tiger is rather hungry…
