Bookroo's summary

Little Tiger is determined to prove he's as fearsome as the bigger tigers. Despite being small and clumsy, he tiptoes through the forest, trying to scare anyone he meets. Laughed at and ignored, Little Tiger's quest seems hopeless. Will he find an animal who sees him as truly terrifying, or is he destined to remain the forest's least fearsome feline? Discover the heartwarming twist in this charming tale of determination and self-discovery.

From the publisher

Everyone knows that tigers are sleek, silent, and totally terrifying . . . most tigers, that is. But no one is afraid of Little Tiger. He’s just too small and clumsy to frighten anyone. Determined to prove that he is terrifying, Little Tiger sets out on tiptoe, creeping through the forest to find someone to scare. He gets yawned at and laughed at, but Little Tiger won’t give up. Is there any animal in the forest who will find him just as sleek, silent, and totally terrifying as the bigger tigers?

Every child who has ever crept up behind someone and shouted “roar!” will enjoy this utterly adorable story with a gentle final twist.
