Tiger Tom is having lessons on how to be a tiger but ends up getting lost in the woods. He is scared but does what his mum has taught him and tries his best to find her safely. The book could start discussions about what you should do if you get lost from the adult you are with. A nice, fun story for FS and KS1 children which carries an important message. The book could also be linked to PE with children recreating the tigers' movements.
