What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Is Penny the only one who sees the tiger on the subway train? An imaginative child and her daddy have a very different experience in this tale told in lively verse and bright, expressive illustrations. The train car stopped and, with a seat now free, Penny sat on Daddy’s knee . . . while the tiger, in his neat disguise, watched Penny with his tigery eyes. One rainy night, Penny and her daddy take an underground train packed with passengers. As they stand in the crowded car, Penny can’t believe what she’s seeing. A tiger’s tail? A tiger’s paw! No, that’s just a person with a striped glove, assures Daddy. But when they find a seat and Penny has a clearer view, there’s no mistaking the tiger’s foot poking out from under a pant leg. And when this extraordinary tiger makes a sudden, marvelous leap across the floor to rescue a baby’s fallen teddy, Penny can’t help but join in the action! From award-winning creators Philip Ardagh and David Melling comes a glorious celebration of a child’s imagination–and a reminder to keep an eye open for the unexpected.
