Practical Parenting
"...a gorgeously illustrated tale about a tiger that sets off in search of his lost smile - it-???+-?-+s prefect for keen little listeners."

The Independent
"...the real star of this impressive debut is the illustration. Page for page, this has a better feeling for tigerishness of a tiger - how it swims and climbs and makes a HUGE tigery stretch than a whole chapter of natural history books. This will make children care."
