There is an art to reading a picture book but I've not encountered many schools that actually teach that skill. Librarians will learn it in their graduate courses, of course, but what about parents and booksellers? Are they doomed to stumble through their readings without getting some of the insider tips and tricks? Yup, pretty much. The only thing you can really do is just recommend to them picture books that make reading aloud one-on-one or to large groups a painless experience. Books that have an inherent interior rhythm and logic that kids will naturally adhere to. So each and every year I sit and wait for those great picture book readalouds of the year. For 2012 I've seen a couple that lend themselves to groups. Up, Tall and High by Ethan Long is ideal for preschoolers. Creepy Carrots! by Aaron Reynolds is perfect for the 1st and 2nd graders. But the all-around best readaloud of the year, bar none as far as I can tell, has got to be It's a Tiger! A boon to librarians and booksellers looking for new storytime fare as well as parents and grandparents, David LaRochelle's latest is a hoot, a holler, and could even be called a hootenanny if you're so inclined to call it that.
So you're walking through the forest, minding your own business, checking out monkeys when you realize that the orange and black tail over there isn't a vine at all. It's a TIGER!! Like a shot you (which is to say, the boy in the book) take off lickety split. Still, it doesn't matter where you go. Whatever you do, that darned tiger seems to follow. Dark caves, ships at sea, desert islands, the tiger is everywhere! At the end you realize that the tiger doesn't really want to eat you. So to put it to sleep you decide to tell it a story. A story about a boy walking through the forest until he sees a green scaly vine. Wait a minute . . . that's not a vine . . . .
It took a couple readings before I realized something essential about this particular book. Turns out, this is one of the rare picture books written in the second person. You do this. You do that. The reader actually is the little boy who finds himself inexplicably running into the same orange and black foe over and over again. It's a narrative technique that I just know that I've seen in picture books before, but when I try to think of them I find myself stumped. They're not as common as you might think and I certainly can't come up with any that are also great read alouds for large groups. By making the audience the narrator they get all the requisite chills and thrills without actually feeling like they're in direct danger. It would be a good companion to Michael Rosen's We're Going On A Bear Hunt honestly. Same threat level. Same you-are-there aspects.
I think what I like best about the book is the fact that it goes from surprising to funny in fairly short order. The first three or four times you turn the page and encounter a tiger the kids are still uncertain about the order of occurrences. Once the pattern is firmly established, that's when they can kind of let go and enjoy. Then LaRochelle ratchets up the silly factor and the kids really begin to have fun. We don't always remember that children have a relatively refined sense of the absurd. They're literalists, every last one, and though they might point out the flaws in your logic as you read the book (how can you swing and land on the tiger when you just escaped the tiger?) there's a different kind of fun to be had in telling grown-ups they can't possibly be right about something. It's a Tiger! combines several different kinds of reading pleasures then. Interactive (kids can yell "It's a tiger!" along with the reader). Power plays (telling adults they must be mistaken). The element of surprise. The controlled fear factor. It's all there. And it's awesome.
It is difficult for me to be impartial about a book that features the art of Jeremy Tankard. A couple years ago he burst onto the picture book scene with three books that changed the way I do preschool storytimes (Grumpy Bird], Me Hungry!, and Boo Hoo Bird). Even when he's working on other people's books, as in the case here, he has a distinctive style that can't be beat. In this book he utilizes his usual ink and digital media style, but the colors are extraordinary. They just pop off the page with these magnificent blues, greens, oranges, yellows, and reds. It was interesting to note that the pages themselves have a sheen and gleam I've not noticed in a picture book before. Hold them up to the light and watch as the thick black lines and colors seem as though they should be transparent, if that makes any sense. That visual pop means that when you reach the every-other-page "surprise" of the tiger, Tankard can really make the animal's appearance seem surprising. He uses some anime-type lines around the tiger from time to time to direct the eye to the center of the page, which as of this review still has a new and contemporary feel to it. We've seen it in books by folks like Dan Santat for years, of course. My suspicion is that though it will certainly make the book feel like an early-21st creation, that doesn't mean it'll age poorly. It's simply a work of its time now.
Long story short, we haven't seen a boy/tiger relationship this complex since the days of Calvin and Hobbes. Tigers are such cute and cuddly carnivores, and honestly it's very difficult to be perfectly afraid of something as soft and fluffy as a tiger. That sort of makes them ideal picture book threats. LaRochelle has written innovative picture books for years now (The End, etc.). Pairing him with Tankard just guarantees a hit. Put this one on your Must Have list and stat.
For ages 4-8.

Lovely illustrations in a cute and fun book! I imagine kids will shout at each page guessing "It's a Tiger!". Hated the bats and the snakes, though :(

A few months back I was looking for something new to read to my preschool storytime group. Well, new to me at least. (and new to them, too) I wasn’t familiar with writer David LaRochelle but I really enjoy artist Jeremy Tankard’s “Bird” series. So I pull this off the shelf and then…
Holy crud… it’s
*Whew* I think we’re safe. Now where was I? Oh yeah, this book.
You’re walking – yes YOU, the book is written in the second person – through the forest. Or maybe it’s the jungle. It looks an awful lot like wherever Pitfall takes place. There are trees and rocks and monkeys and off in the distance you can even see a vine.
Only vines aren’t furry. Vines don’t move on their own. And vines definitely aren’t orange and black.
Not again… it’s
Are we clear? Ok, back to the story.
So as you read through the book you find that the preschool-to-early-elementary set will not be able to stop laughing every time that beast shows up. But don't be the one to point the tiger out! Prompt your group to shout out the hiding spot - i.e. behind the green leaves, inside the dark cave, on the big pirate ship.
They will relish in the chance to “spot him first” as you pretend not to see him, kind of like right now!
"Librarian, look out! It's..."
The tiger is like a Hanna Barbera villain crossed with Michael Myers. No matter how fast you run away, it somehow beats you to your next location, be it a cave, island or ship. (don’t forget to have the kids run in place and pretend to climb and swim!) It’s just so absurd, and the young ones will love pointing that out.
Now I know that not all of you are professional storytellers but with this book, you don’t need to be! Look, “It’s a Tiger!” is the "Cha Cha Slide" of children’s books. I mean, even the title comes with its own direction in the form of an exclamation mark! And Tankard’s big and colorful artwork is the perfect complement to LaRochelle’s made-for-dialogic-reading script.
This book is just plain fun.
And after your successful storytime, you can put this book down next to that orange and black umbrella over there and take a much deserved break.
What a second….

I almost never write reviews for children's books because I'm not of the age to judge if it's going to be perfect for their target audience.
That being said, I read this to my daughter this morning and she laughed and squealed the whole time. It was impossible to mistake her reaction as anything but complete joy. She loved finding the hidden tiger and would shout, "It's a Tiger!" and then laugh and scream.
I had so much fun reading this to her(it's a really, really fun book to read). Of course, you have to read it right. You know, the voices, the different tones, etc. There's an art to reading children's books and thankfully my mom was great at that when I was a kid so I've picked up a thing or two.
Get into this book! It's a blast!

Check out more picture book reviews @ Perspective of a Writer...
A boy tells a story that starts in the jungle. Right away he notices something out of place... a tiger! Everywhere he goes he encounters a tiger! In a cave, on a ship and in a treasure chest. Will the tiger eat the boy in the end?
This book is one big silly-go-round. My nephew totally loved it and laughed at all the little hints of the tiger. He looked forward to the next crazy place the boy would find the tiger. The art was big and think in the most enchanting way. Somehow it feels like a book for a boy while at the same time having an appeal for all ages and sexes. While the message is not a strong one the story does merit talking about how appearances can be deceiving... the tiger was not mean but was interested in a friend.
My nephew chose the spread with the tiger jumping out of the chest to draw though he was also quite enchanted by the tiger dressed as the captain of the ship. If you need to coax a young reader to enjoy picture books this in the one to purchase!
BOTTOM LINE: A Tiger Surprise!

It's a Tiger written by David LaRochelle and illustrated by Jeremy Tankard, is an adventure for preschool aged students. They are able to go on an adventure through the jungle but at every turn there is "A TIGER!". The storyline involves an adult or older reader to enthusiastically read and proctor the adventure to the younger audience. Every page is a new location and an opportunity for safety except for tail or stripe to give a hint that the tiger has beat the main character (a boy) and the audience to the location.
The illustrations are amazing. They are bright, colorful, and the lines are thick and defined. There is a mixture in the illustrations between objects that are defined with a black outline and objects that are almost just a blur of color; this helps the young audience to identify what is the more important part of the illustration. The dramatic reaction of the boy helps the audience to understand what their reaction should be. The boy always jumps off the ground in a very expressive way to show how frightened he is of that tiger.
The audience is preschool aged students and as a read-aloud this book will entertain them immensely. This book has so many opportunities for excitement and enjoyment of the audience through the adventurous story line and the beautiful and bright illustrations.

It's a Tiger! is a really vibrant picture book that follows a boy who wherever he goes there's a tiger there waiting for him. This is a really colorful book which has illustrations that jump out from the page.
It's a Tiger! would be such a great read-aloud for younger kids especially since they can "read-along" when the boy discovers that the tiger is near. I think kids will get a kick out of this book. It’s a picture book that can really get them excited to read or be read to because they can follow along with the story easily.

This book has a great concept and it is hilarious to read to a four-year-old who keeps guessing wrong. I didn't like the pictures, but I still enjoyed the book.

Maybe not the best bedtime story, but so cute and the illustrations are delightful.

I always enjoy books in which the narrator directly addresses the reader, and this picture book does that all the way through. Young readers will enjoy this one because it includes them even on the first page. The narrator tries to begin a story, but before getting very far, becomes distracted by the sighting of a tiger. In some of the pages, just the tip of the tiger's tail is visible, and in others, the tiger is hiding in the dark. After going from place to place to avoid the tiger, the narrator realizes that the tiger "was only yawning" (unpaged)and would probably enjoy a story. Having transcended his fear about tigers, the narrator moves on to another fearsome beast. The story is fun and will stand up to repeated readings, and the ink and digital media illustrations add so much to the fun since readers can try to spot the tiger in every illustration. This title is creative and imaginative!

This. Book. Is. Awesome.
We had to put a period after each word to let you know how awesome David LaRochelle's It's a Tiger! truly is.
First off, we got to say the word "Whomp." That right there is fun. More more fun is all the times we got to yell "IT'S A TIGER! RUN!" And, other than reading, there is nothing that Layla and Rachel love to do more than yell. Particularly yell "IT'S A TIGER! RUN!" And believe us, there are not many times in our lives where we get to yell that particular phrase.
So, a boy is in a jungle and he keeps running into this tiger. He runs and thinks he gets away, but wait - what's that in the shadows? "IT'S A TIGER! RUN!" You seriously keep getting to yell that phrase and the book gets sillier and siller and we got gigglier and gigglier (is that a word? It should be).
The illustrations are great and colorful. You get to yell. What more could you possibly want from a book?

The interactive style of narrative promises to make this book a ton of fun for reading aloud or sharing. I love Jeremy Tankard's style of big, blocky illustrations. Really, really cute. I think this is perfect for parents and caregivers to share one-on-one. The repeated "jump" scenes ensure that it will leave kids in giggles.
June 9, 2012
Many picture books can be read aloud; however, some make for a more engaging read aloud. LaRochelle's It's a Tiger will be a fun preschool/kindergarten read aloud. I can already hear the kids itching to shout out "a tiger" at the various points in the story where the tiger makes an appearance.
January 2, 2013
This is so much fun! The tiger keeps turning up in odder and odder places and the narrator keeps yelling the refrain "a tiger! Run!" Until the end when the narrator tells a story about a crocodile! This will be great for story time!

Start's by asking the reader if they are ready for a story. Might have to come up with a tiger story time, but this would probably be best as the last book.

It is a pretty silly children's book about a boy who is running from a tiger, but no matter where he goes, there's the tiger waiting for him.

This is a fun one! The kids have wanted to read this plenty of times. I like the illustrations and it's fun to act out the scenes with the kids.

Shelved as 'library-priority'
November 13, 2023because I think that I'm beginning to become a fan of the author....

First the good: the illustrations are nice and bold, I've been told this is a great read aloud book (which I can definitely believe), I appreciate that the human kid who is our reader-insert isn't explicitly gendered so it'll be a little easier for a larger group of kids to feel included.
Second the "eh": the reader-insert kid is white, for a story this silly/with so little actual plot, there is even less of a reason than usual to have the kid be white (to be clear, in 99% of books with human children, they would probably be made better if there were kids of color other than tokens, aka main characters), even though the reader-insert kid is not explicitly gendered, I think the majority of people will assume they are a boy, I don't think the authors were TRYING to make them be non-gendered, more that it was a nice accident.
Finally the "this is just me": I tend to not want to read books to kids that don't have SOME message, and this mostly just felt like a "silly to be silly" book. It's definitely the type of book that younger kids will like because of how they can interact with the story. If you like silly stories that are solely about their silliness, this might very well be a 4 or 5 star book for you. I just don't.
