Our Review Panel says...

We were over the moon to receive this beautiful hardback poetry anthology. Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright contains an animal poem for every day of the year. It’s a real stunner of a book – a gorgeously bound hardback compendium with full-page colour illustrations by Britta Teckentrup. Readers can have fun dipping in and out of the pages and reading animal poems both familiar and new to us – flicking through to the entries for today, tomorrow, our birthdays, family and friends’ birthday and other special dates in the calendar, as well as pausing on random pages that catch our attention due ot the illustrations or the titles of the poems. It’s the kind of collection that is perfect for a teacher’s desk or family coffee table to open when there’s a spare few minutes in the day. This is a book to treasure and one that sings of the joy of poetry as much as the wonders of the natural world.
