'My Tiger' is a funny picture book by Joy Cowley, illustrated by David Barrow, for children aged 4 and up. It is a playful story about cake, teeth, and a tiger who refuses to be told what to do.

"My tiger loved cake, so I took him to the bakery. Then he broke a tooth, so I took him to the dentist. My tiger didn't like being told what he could and couldn't eat. So what *should* a tiger eat?"

A young boy's tiger is terrified of his very first visit to the dentist, but in this funny picture book, the appointment turns out completely differently than expected (and spells the end for the dentist!).

What follows is a surprising and humorous twist in which a bossy adult comes off worse and a charming tiger wins the reader's heart. It is a story about cake and the irresistible urge of a real tiger, leaving room for the reader's own interpretation.

With subtle humor, Joy Cowley tells a story that appeals to both children and adults. The engaging illustrations are by David Barrow, known for 'Have You Seen Elephant?', which won a Silver Paintbrush award and was selected for the Picture Book Top Ten.

'My Tiger' is an original read-aloud book for children aged 4 and up about fear of the dentist, setting boundaries, and an irresistible craving for cake.
