NALAH AND THE PINK TIGER is the story of a little girl and her great imagination. Her imagination involves numerous animals that live in her home and cause chaos leading her to get into trouble. Then a pink tiger follows here home from the zoo and the other animals are not too happy.
I received this book as part of the PUMP UP YOUR BOOK Publicity Tour. To visit other stops on the book tour, click HERE.
Since I lead Storytime at our local library, children's books are always part of my book search. I am always looking for unique books that I can share that are also fun to read aloud and get the kids interested. NALAH AND THE PINK TIGER is just that kind of book. There are even coloring pages and crafts available on the website to go along with the book!
As you can tell from the cover photo and from this page, the illustrations are bright and colorful. This is key to getting the child's attention right away. The pictures are also fun and the antics of the animals in the story will easily bring out the giggles.
I also like how a unique animal, like a emu, is used in the story. This allows the opportunity to teach the child about a new animal.
Nalah has a vibrant and wild imagination. She finds all kinds of ways to explain messes, disruptions, and mishaps that happen in her life by blaming them on the animals. This book will encourage the child in your life to have a vivid imagination. After reading this story, I bet your child will want to have a pig living in their bathroom too!
