PS
Grumpy old Tiger is annoyed at having to watch rambunctious Cub. But Cub's contagious enthusiasm helps Tiger rediscover the wonders around him, and he comes to appreciate his little charge. While the mostly rhyming text awkwardly slips in and out of poetic meter, the simple story, with its catchy jungle sounds ("Chitter-chatter! Screech!"), is enhanced by vibrant stylized illustrations of jungle flora and fauna.
