I won this book in a goodreads drawing.
A daring girl goes into the jungle and meets and greets the animals, including a talking tiger.
The illustrations are great.

Ada and myself really loved this tale. It is a brilliant story about an adventurous girl, just like Ada, who doesn’t quite fit in. She finds herself exploring the jungle, when she meets a tiger. It just so happens this tiger is a little different as well, and the two completely bond over their uniqueness. We love that it showed there is nothing wrong with being different and that you will find someone who loves you just as you are. Such an important message in days like today. The illustrations

This is an inspiring book because it relays a good message about being yourself. The pictures in this book are very well done. This story flows very well, and the scenes fit together well.
Thank you for sending me this book. My children love it

When reading children's stories, I typically base my reviews on two things; the first is the story and the second are the illustrations. For Kelsey Lee's The Tiger Like Me, I went into reading this book sort of anticipating that both would be done well based on my cursory look the synopsis and cover. As I continued reading it, however, I began to feel a little unhappy with a couple things. And while I want to preface this by saying that I do, generally, really l ...more

The story is written in a rhyming fashion, the kind of which reminds you of Dr. Seuss. But those books were a little silly. This book tried really well to send a positive message. That it's ok to be different, and it's fine to be yourself, people may think of you as different and may have a problem with the way you think.
The story of the book revolves around a village girl named Abhi. Abhi has seven sisters, who are well behaved and girlish. But Abhi is high spirited and fun loving. She is loud ...more

The illustrations as you can see, are vivid, colorful, cover the full page and are energetic. It will draw the eye easily, not only to the characters in the foreground but also the background details of the village, the jungle, the animals. A lot of work and care has clearly gone to the illustrations which are going to be a visual feast for young kids and their guardians alike.

Very cute book with a fantastic message. Abhi loves adventure and nothing is gonna stand in her way of finding it, making her different than all of her friends. So when she is dared to go into the jungle, she doesn’t even bat an eyelash, she barrels on in having the time of her life. She takes in every bit of her surroundings and comes face to face with a tiger, who is also “different.” The moral of the story is we are all human and just be yourself. The story didn’t always flow but the characte

The author has totally white-washed Indian girls and stripped her main character of her culture making it seem as if it's not good enough.
This book is wildly tone deaf to our current racial issues in the world and I just cannot support this kind of cultural discrimination and racism, let alone in a children's book.

We won this book through a giveaway and I read this book to my kindergartener. While we both enjoyed the illustrations and the rhymes, the story had a peculiar flow to it. The message of being yourself is a great one to include; it just seemed as though the book was trying to include too much.

This was not my usual read, but I thought I would read it for the intended message. The rhyme scheme threw me a couple of times, but I did enjoy the enthusiasm for being different. We should all feel this way. It was worth the read, and children will enjoy the illustrations as well.
I received a copy of this story through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.

Quite long, but great pictures!
Great book. This was a wonderful children's book with great illustrations. While my grandchildren are still too young for this, I will defintely read it to them someday.
A beautifully written, beautifully illustrated book with an inspiring message for children, AND adults. Absolutely LOVE this book!
