About The Book
An adorable new series about the highs and lows of toddler life from the creators of I’m Sticking with You.
“WHY can't I have ice cream?
WHY can't I have cake?
I know it's past my bedtime ... but I'm really wide awake!”
Tiny Tiger has had ENOUGH of the answer to his many questions always being "no". After all, his demands are perfectly reasonable ("Why can't I live up on the moon? It's really not that far."). But when he defiantly climbs the furthest he can go on the slide, will Tiny Tiger come to see that maybe - just maybe - his parents have known what's best for him all along?
Anyone who has ever met a toddler will relate to this funny and affectionate look at their wilfulness and determination - although they might want to look out for the twist in the tale!
Also by Smriti Halls and Steve Small:
I’m Sticking with You (shortlisted for Oscar’s Book Prize and for Children’s Illustrated Book of the Year at the British Book Awards)
I’m Sticking with You Too (shortlisted for Oscar's Book Prize)
Let’s Stick Together
