Overview
The narrator of this book will draw anything you want, but he can't draw tigers! Except trying to draw them might be the only way to get better... This book is magical. Whatever you think of, the narrator will draw it on the next page. There’s just one problem: they’re really bad at drawing tigers. Hilariously bad. So please, don’t think of tigers! But of course, soon all you’ll be able to think of is tigers . . . so the narrator will draw them, more and more ridiculous as they go: a tiger in a mermaid outfit, one carrying a coffee and a briefcase, some just plain awful. But with practice, will they get better? A fun book to read together, perfect for children who love to draw – and for those who don't (but might soon!).
