Chris, a young tiger, thinks he has a great life. He lives in a zoo, where he is cared for, fed regularly, and adored by thousands of visitors. His only problem is that his tail is extremely small-certainly, much too small for a proper tiger. One night, Chris the tiny-tailed tiger decides to explore the real world and comes up with an escape plan. This witty story focuses on themes important to growing children. From dealing with bullying to developing emotional intelligence, Chris the Tiny-Tailed Tiger explores what it means to realize your dreams and become what you want to be. Follow Chris’ adventures as he escapes the zoo and finds the most unexpected thing of all-the love of his life!

Based on a story written by her husband as a second grader in 1992 (included at the end of this book), Susan George’s Chris, the Tiny-Tailed Tiger is a modern tale perfect for when we are spending quality time with our family and friends. This book is beautifully illustrated and is sure to forge closer bonds with our special kiddos as we all struggle with learning how to adapt and live in this new world.
