Caveat!
I recently read this book with my son and was utterly appalled, both as a parent and as an educator in the public school system.This is surprising because we own numerous other DK books and I am a huge fan of the series.In addition to the fact that almost every story involves some sort of violence (hardly age-appropriate),a tiger is actually refered to as having been "murdered" (p. 35).Not only is the use of the word "murder" for an animal incorrect usage, it also sets an inappropriate tone in a book where humans are merely "killed" (p. 30; a much weaker word for an actual murder).If this book were not intended for reading alone by young children and if it were not part of a series used by schools, I would be considerably less concerned.Nevertheless, parents considering purchasing this book for their children should be aware that factual information is largely overshadowed by an overwhelmingly heavy-handed political message.

Informative and entertaining
My 8-year-old son and I both enjoyed this book."Tiger Tales" presents a lot of information in text, drawings, photographs, and a map.And I learned something new, too.Do you and your children know why tigers, cheetahs, jaguars, and leopards have stripes or spots but lions and pumas do not?Well, if you don't know, this book is a good source for the answer! ...

Biting humor...
My 10 month old loves this book because when you squeeze the binding on just the right spot, the tiger on the cover opens his mouth and chomps his teeth.My 2 year old likes the rhymes and cute pictures.All in allTricky Tiger was a worthwhile purchase, wearing well through manyrereads...although now it looks like it needs some dental work... ...

Great Book!

WONDERFUL
I love these tapes. My preschooler loves these tapes and has since age 2 or so. My sister gave them to me because she and her kids love these tapes. First of all, Winnie the Pooh is simply the best toddler/preschool character out there, as he's funny and not scary or naughty, (or loud), and they use lots of words and do things which are new and fun and interesting for your toddler/ preschooler. Second, this dramatization is unbelievably good--entertaining to adults as well as kids, the perfect mix of humor and gentleness. Another reviewer has said Tigger is annoying--I completely disagree. Tigger is FINE. I wonder if this reviewer has encountered Disney Tigger--now there's annoying! We have taken these tapes everywhere and now of course have lost or broken most of them so I HAVE TO buy some more. There are alot of books and tapes out there you can take out of the library--JUST BUY THESE

Say "Ho" for the wonderful Pooh!
This amazing dramatization of the Pooh books is performed by a marvelously talented group of British entertainers who truly bring the Pooh characters gently and lovingly to life. As for this tape, I finally got this figured out. This is part of a four-tape program that represents the complete two-book Winnie-the-Pooh story collection, except the stories are out of order (probably so that they would fit equally on the tapes). Book 1, "Winnie-the-Pooh," is represented by "Pooh Goes Visiting" (stories in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10) and "Piglet Meets a Heffalump" (stories: 5, 6, 7, 8). Book 2, "The House at Pooh Corner," is dramatized by "Tigger Comes to the Forest" (stories in order: 1 2, 4, 3, 9, 10) and "Pooh Invents a New Game" (stories 5, 6, 7, 8). When stories that depend on previous information are out of order, it gets confusing. My suggestion: Get the "Winnnie-the-Pooh" / "The House at Pooh Corner" gift pack, which is also four tapes (the same recordings), but in the proper order.

Get this one as one of the set.
After my introduction to this ensemble cast with "Pooh Goes Visiting," I looked forward to the rest of the series. But this one is a bit of a let-down. Be warned that the stories are, or seem to be, out of sequence. Contrary to the title, only two, I think, are about or even contain Tigger. And the voice of Tigger is REALLY annoying. Really. But the rest of the cast continues to bring a gentle wonderfulness to the Pooh stories -- so much so that it's well worth the annoyance of Tigger. Get this one, but don't miss the other, better ones. ... Read more

WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
Popular young singer LeAnn Rimes and her husband, dancer/choreographer Dean Sheremet follow their initial collaborative effort, Jag, with a story of friendship.
A Good Book for Teaching Values
I was afforded the opportunity of thumbing through this book at a friend's house.Aside from being a good book, it is just refreshing to see children books being written by someone who can really play the role model children need to see in celebrities.Too many stars "dabble" in this genre but lack the public character to add credibility to their work.Leann Rimes is star in every sense of the word, but more importantly, she is a warm and real person who projects the values she rights about.

Editorial Review

Young Prince Leo II, a winged lion, grows up in his father's opulent palace with every luxury--ruby roses, silver rattles, trunks full of gold--but no books. Leo Golden Mane, Emperor of the Cats, had no need for books: "The emperor couldn't read or write, not even his own name, but he didn't care.When he roared, everyone jumped."Read more

The gift of reading.
My daughter loved this book much more than I.It is a tale of a small lion prince who was born with wings but never taught how to use them.One day he accidentally catches the wind blowing through his room and sails out the window, crash landing in the territory of the rival king.This king is kind to him and helps tend his broken wing, while teaching the little prince to read.When the prince returns home, he shares his newfound treasure with his friends as no one in his kingdom had previously known of the existence of books.It's a nice story to introduce the idea of learning to read to your child, since it emphasizes that being able to read is a real gift, but I thought the text was a bit simple and the illustrations didn't always follow the pacing of the story.Overall, you might want to borrow this from the library but it's not a must-own.

Sumptuous illustrations for this fairy tale
Chris Conover's "The Lion's Share" is a modern-day fairy tale with many elements of old fairy tales.The twist is that all the characters are animals instead of humans. The Lion's Share is an amazing book!
Chris has written a tour de force. The pictures are carefully constructed and intelligently crafted and this book will enchant both children andadults.The story is fanciful and rich in verbal and visual beauty.Thereis an added factor, the story of Leo is a morality tale...Leo has learnedto love and care deeply for books and that's an important message thatparents and educators would like to impart to youngsters. ...

Scary, powerful cats
There are ten wild cats depicted in this little book. All are realistically rendered, most are heads but four of them are fully drawn designs. They snarl and stalk and pounce across the page and are popular with younger girls and boys. I passed some of these out last year at Halloween, and the kids were delighted. There's a beautiful full body jaguar, leopard, ocelot, and snow leopard. The others are the snarling heads of a black panther, a tiger, a jaguar, a clouded leopard, a cougar, and a lion. ...
