"I'm going to eat you, little muskrat," said the tiger. "Wait!" said the muskrat. "I want to tell you a story." "Okay," said the tiger, "But make it quick!" Clever muskrat! He knows just how to outwit a very hungry tiger: tell him a story. Silly tiger! Tigers shouldn't listen to muskrats and their stories... especially clever muskrats with clever stories. Tom Willans creates a delightful read- aloud to complement his quirkily rendered animals. The surprise ending will have children laughing and asking for the story to be read again and again.
This blog is essentially a list of children's books that I have enjoyed (or didn't but might recommend anyway). They are tagged for age level and other searchable characteristics. Please comment on anything you'd like to see to make this a useful tool for you when looking for books that children (or those young at heart) might enjoy. - Anthea Bailie

Wait! I Want to Tell You a Story by Tom Willans
