Really adorable illustrations, in the best tradition -- somewhat Hobbes-like tiger, only more fuzzy and more feisty. Perfectly captures the way friends mess with each other and make up and take care of each other. Lovely. ( )

What a wonderful book for discussing friendship, tolerance, overcoming differences and understanding, even through rough times.

I love Marie-Louise Gay's illustrations!! ( )

TIGER AND BADGER by Emily Jenkins is an adorable picture about friendship.

Tiger and Badger are best friends. Whether working together to rescue Bad Monkey or fighting over a chair, they face ups and downs in their relationship. Happily, they always end up friends in the end.

Librarians will find this book to be an engaging read-aloud choice perfect for silly voices. Young children will enjoy the vibrant, watercolor illustrations and large text. A great book for class discussions about friendship, children will check it out over and over again.
