Picture Book
In India the Bengal tiger is the
king of the land. But the giant saltwater crocodile is the ruler of the
water. What happens when the kids of these fearsome beasts meet?
Let's get ready to rumble!
These animals sing their own version of Anything You Can Scare, I Can Scare Better!
The tiger cub and little croc
joust in a witty war of words. In a playful game of one-upmanship, they
top each other's boasts of who owns the most frightening canines, claws,
and capabilities.
Climbing trees and swimming
circles around each other, they are truly well-matched adversaries. But
will these terrible tykes discover someone even scarier than them? No
elephant is waiting around to find out the answer! Enjoy an eye-opening
adventure, illustrated by a veteran DreamWorks Animation artist.
MY REVIEW:
I don't normally review picture books, though I don't know why. I love picture books and still read them daily to my five-year-old son. David Derrick's book I'm the Scariest Thing in the Jungle is simply adorable. A young tiger and crocodile have the kind of show down two little kids might have on a school playground. The author has perfectly captured those little kid voices, and his artwork is just so cute! I especially like the crocodile's big childlike eyes. The story will entertain kids of all ages and is sure to elicit plenty of giggles.
I give I'm The Scariest Thing in the Jungle...
