Synopsis:
This is a story about a baby tiger in search of his dad.  In this pop-up book, baby tiger asks every animal he sees if he is his daddy and each animal responds no, states what type of animal they are and gives him a reason why he is not his daddy.  Baby tiger finally finds his daddy and when he asks, his daddy says yes and asks him where he has been?!
Pre Reading Activity:
Activity:
Have the class make predictions of what might happen and who the baby tiger might ask is his father.
Post Reading Activity:
Activity:
After reading the story, have the students make up other animals that baby tiger could ask that were not in the story and give a reason why they could not be baby tiger's father.
Reflection:
I think this is the cutest book!  It shows different types of animals you could introduce to younger children and the pop up features make it look realistic.  It is a quick read for young children to sit and listen to and they could try and predict what animals might be in the story.
