Overview

My tiger loved cake, and I went with him to the cake shop. Then he got a bad tooth, so I went with him to the dentist. My tiger didn't like sitting in the waiting room, climbing onto the dentist chair, or being told by the dentist what to eat. Especially when she said no more cake! What's a tiger supposed to eat? A bossy adult is made to look silly and a charming tiger wins the reader's heart in this subversively funny story about a love of cake and the pull of natural tiger instincts.
