Tiger Wild by Gwen Millward
2.0
The pictures were cute, but that's about it. Sure kiddos sometimes let their imaginations run wild, but Lily's adult never talks with her about "tiger's naughty behavior". And painting the couch, and eating all the cupcakes is one thing, but running away from home? And not a single word on the matter? What if a child took this book literally? It would have been better if when Penny found Lily she showed signs of being worried, and discussed with Lily how dangerous running away is, it would amend for everything else. But instead it made it seem like it was no big deal at all.
On the inside of the dust jacket it mentions, "Sometimes feelings can go wild. . . Lily is a little girl with big emotions. And sometimes she can't keep herself from acting out and being naughty." But this is never actually mentioned within the pages of the story. I feel like it could have changed the whole feeling of the book.
