"Heart of a Tiger" and "Iggy Peck, Architect"
These were very different, yet both celebrated being yourself.
Heart of a Tiger
5 stars, favorite book
Author: Marsha Diane Arnold
Illustrator: Jamichael Henterly
Four kittens were to be given their formal names on Naming Day, a week away. Three knew what names they wanted. Four was the runt, plain gray, and afraid his name wouldn't be a good one, one to make him more than what he seemed to be.
Four goes in search of Golden Bengal, a tiger, to learn to be a tiger. Then he would have a name to be proud of.
The illustrations are big, bold and vibrant with color. They bring the jungle to life.
Iggy Peck, Architect
5 stars
Author: Andrea Beaty
Illustrator: David Roberts
Iggy loves to build and has been building amazing things since he was in diapers. Then he ends up in Miss Lila Greer's second grade class. There will be no building in her class.
Iggy's projects are a bit over the top which makes the book fun. There is rhyming in the text throughout.
The illustrations are spare, precise, a reflection of architectural drafts. They emphasize the fantastical aspects of Iggy's creations. This is a fun book.
