Book Summary “I am a tiger,” Mouse tells the other animals, trying to convince them that it’s true. Mouse makes a grr sound, climbs a tree, and hunts for lunch. That’s what tigers do! When an actual tiger shows up, Mouse tries to keep up the act. But when Mouse looks into a river, what will the reflection show?
Prompts for Encouraging Discussion
• What words would you use to describe Mouse? • How do you think the animals feel when Mouse insists on being a tiger? • Is there an animal that you would like to be? Tell why.
Build Knowledge: Fun Facts to Share Mice are just one of four mammals that can sing. The others are whales, bats, and humans. The pattern of stripes on each tiger is unique to each individual tiger. Tigers can imitate the call of some animals to attract prey. Tigers are good swimmers and like water, unlike most other members of the cat family.
