This illustrator seemed to use ink pen with water colors to fill in for color. The illustrator also used lines to direct your attention through the picture in a particular way. Horizontal lines moved the reader’s eyes sideways through the picture and the vertical lines helped moved the reader’s eyes up and down on the page. Another thing the illustrator used to portray a specific idea was value in the pictures. When the bedroom light was off the picture was darker and when the light was on the p...more

This is a great take on the bedtime fear of something in the closet. There is a friendly tiger in the closet who keeps making noise preventing the child from falling asleep. Finally the child takes away the potato chips, the band instruments, the tap shoes, etc. The tiger then starts boo hoo-ing. Why? Because he is scared of the dark and lonely and asks to sleep with the child. The child agrees, but you know what happens next? The tiger starts snoring. OF COURSE! Lots of fun.
Just read this tonight to my girls. A picture book has to really get me to giggle for me to take note. Although there are many I meant to take note of, but my brain has too many holes these days.
Loved this concept. Little boy trying his darnedest to go to sleep - but the tiger in his closet is too busy eating chips, doing cartwheels, playing instruments...basically driving the kid nuts.
Love the perspective and loved the adorable dialogue.

This book is about a little boy who is trying to go to sleep one night, when he realizes there is a tiger in his closet. This tiger is making an awful amount of noise. The tiger is not scary or mean, just noisy! The boy spends a lot of time trying to get the tiger to be quiet. But soon the little boy realizes why tiger is so noisy, he cant sleep because he is afraid. This is a very cute book and students will also find it funny.
A little boy is ready for bed but can't sleep because there's a tiger in his closet eating chips! Then the tiger is bouncing a ball, doing cartwheels and playing band instruments. Finally the little boy has had enough and demands that the tiger stop making noise. But the tiger then tells him that he's afraid of the dark closet. So the boy invites him to bed with him and the ecstatic tiger leaps through the air.
I really enjoyed this story. It was about a young boy that couldn't sleep because there was a tiger in his closet. The tiger can't sleep because he was afraid of the dark. What luck? Having a tiger in your closet and he's afraid of the dark? I think this story is funny and it is one that children would like to read on their own.
When I first read this I thought the author must have a son who does everything my son does to avoid bedtime-IDENTICAL. And the clever part is that it is the tiger doing the naughty "NO BEDTIME" routine so the little boy is having to feel exactly what us parents feel when we JUST want to get some sleep!
This book is great for teaching onomonopias! Words that are sound words! Bounce, bam, ker-thump! This cute book would help students better understand onomonopias because there are so many in the book! Would be very fun book for a read aloud in a kindergarten class.
I think this is a cute book about a little boy who cant sleep because a tiger in his closet keep him up with noise. I think children will find this book to be funny and it could be used right before nap time for pre-k. It also has great illustrations.
If the tiger can't sleep, no one else can sleep! The little boy in the story repeatedly asks the tiger to quiet down. The boy finds out that the tiger is afraid of the dark. Book is a great read for students who can relate.
Good read for Pre-K

What a great readaloud for older preschool or early elementary...while a little boy is doing his best to fall alseep the tiger in his closet is up to no good, making ruckus. Children will giggle and guffaw at the tiger's antics.
A boy has a hard time sleeping with the noisy tiger in the closet. He tries to help the tiger go to sleep but there is only one way. It is worth a peaceful nights sleep. I recommend this book for kindergarten to 2nd grades.
This book is such fun! Would be great for teaching onomotapoeia and use of different fonts to enhance a story. But my kids and I love it for its pure silliness and fun as a bedtime story!
This book is very cute! It's a good book for parens to read to their children before bedtime. The idea is that a little boy cannot fall asleep because there is a tiger in his closet!
I really liked how it was a great book for exaggeration and vocabulary. I read it and made the sounds of a bouncing ball, the sound of a kiss, etc and the storyline was adorable!
This is my middle sons favorite book. He loves the tiger. He laughs hysterically throughout the book, especially at the ending. A great bedtime story!
I read this to a family storytime group and they enjoyed it. A very playful story with opportunity for interaction and silliness.
This is a fun book to get children involved in while reading. Also the fun voices during reading make it super fun.
We got this at a literacy fair and my kids make me read it every day..if they like it that much, its a winner.
Nathan really liked this one. I actually laughed while doing the tiger's voice and sound effects too.
My children LOVE this book! I do too. It's a fun bedtime book that will get the kids giggling.
A boy is trying to sleep, but his tiger in the closet keeps making noise by playing with things.
A great bedtime book for any parent to read!!! A very fun read...one of my favorites!
I loved this book. Cute pictures. Sort of a reverse of there is a monster in my closet.
Has great onomatopoeia!
Repetitious structure, perfect for young readers.
