Description
Sloppy Tiger wants to watch television instead of going to bed.
Quick Summary
Kids who fight bedtime will crack up at Sloppy Tiger's antics here's a tiger who'll try just about anything to squeeze in one more show before lights out, and the silliness feels genuinely kid-approved rather than adult-funny. Joy Cowley knows exactly how to write for early readers, keeping sentences short and punchy while still letting Sloppy's personality shine through on every page. The illustrations (which I'm assuming complement the story based on the title) probably add to the fun, giving young readers lots to look at between the words. This hits a sweet spot for kindergarten through second grade, especially kids who are just starting to read independently but still need that satisfaction of finishing a whole story. If your little reader loved "The Bad Seed" or other books with memorably stubborn characters, Sloppy Tiger will be right up their alley. Parents can feel good about this one too it's got that perfect mix of silly and reassuring that helps bedtime feel less like a battle and more like part of the adventure.
