Tiger vs. Nightmare by Emily Tetri

5.0

The watercolor style of Tiger vs. Nightmare is the first thing that caught my eye regarding this book. The colors are bright and rich with a smudgy quality that makes them attractive to a younger audience and interesting for any older readers that might be joining them.

Story wise, this was a great one for friendship, imagination, bravery, and teamwork. Tiger's parents encourage her friendship/imagination toward Monster, the monster under her bed, who chases away the nightmares, including asking if Monster has any special requests for dinner (Tiger shares!). Monster is very brave because no matter how big the nightmares are, they do their best to fulfill their Monster duties. 

Teamwork comes in when Tiger and Monster must work together and come up with a plan for the biggest nightmare of all. What do you do when it's too scary? These friends plan & work things out in inventive, child friendly ways. I'd see this as a good bedtime story in general, but maybe especially if someone is having trouble getting to sleep due to nightmares. Maybe they just need a Monster friend of their own. :)





I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
