Bookroo's summary

Miss Bell's tiny kitten, Tiger, isn't just any cat—he's growing into a real tiger! As Tiger transforms from a cute pet into a jungle giant, Miss Bell's love is put to the test. Can she adapt to his ever-expanding needs, despite what the neighbors think? This heartwarming tale, filled with vibrant illustrations, explores the bounds of unconditional love and the surprises that come with it. Will Miss Bell find a way to keep her beloved Tiger, or will his size become too much to handle? Discover the humorous and touching journey of a pet like no other.

From the publisher

Miss Bell loved cats. One day she bought a tiny kitten. He had stripes like a tiger, a tail like a tiger, and a smile like a tiger. So Miss Bell named him Tiger. He was very cute, and she loved him a lot. But Tiger grew and grew. He grew into a huge tiger! Exuberant watercolor illustrations chronicle the transformation of Tiger from tiny kitten to giant jungle beast and his doting owner’s efforts to accommodate his “growing” needs in this warmhearted story that celebrates unconditional love.
