Surprisingly depressing for a children's book
19 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
Although this book is, on the surface, a pleasant glimpse into the life of a third grade boy, Chris, and his recently acquired kitten Tiger, it is filled with shockingly dark undertones. Gripping poverty is the subject of most of the book's chapters. For instance, in the first chapter, Chris's mother tells him that they do not have enough money to buy a new pencil for the start of school. Chris is initially not allowed to get Tiger because the family cannot afford their rent or grocery bills. In the latter chapters, the family's financial prospects brighten in anticipation of an upcoming photo shoot that is to take place in their house. For one brief moment, it appears as though everything will work out for the better, until SURPRISE, the cat ruins the photo shoot by eating the negatives and the family is poor again. That is how the book ends. Sorry for ruining it.

Life through the eyes of a third grader
22 May 2003
Format:Paperback
This is a remarkable book that children of all walks of life will love. It is the story of a 3 grade boy named Chris who has recently been blessed with a cat that has changed his whole life. Tiger, the cat, is a typical kitten and a terror to the whole house with his playful, and curious kitten ways. Tiger isn't the only change in Chris' life. Starting the third grade, and having his best friend move aren't easy tasks. All of this is weaved into a lasting tale that will keep the young reader entertained.
