Bookroo's summary
A tiger cleverly masquerades as a rug, living in luxury with the Rajah's family. But when burglars invade the palace, he faces a dilemma: remain hidden or reveal himself to protect the Rajah. Will he risk his comfortable life for heroism, or will his secret be exposed? Discover the surprising fate of a tiger in disguise in this enchanting tale.
From the publisher
It’s amazing how easy it is for the tiger to pass himself off as a rug - he enjoys a life of luxury with the Rajah’s family, snacking on midnight feasts and playing with his children. He goes entirely undetected, until one night, when he risks expulsion from his comfortable abode as burglars break into the palace and he has to decide whether to stay in disguise as a rug - or save the Rajah from a horrible beating.However, tigers who live in houses can have happy endings, as seen in this perfect picture book.
