Tigers in the cellar

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Once there was a little girl who believed there were tigers in the cellar. In the daytime, while she was busy, she didn't think about them too much, but at night, when it was dark, she was sure she could hear them—even though her mother called the idea nonsense. Then came the night when she ventured into the hall—and two great yellow tigers came out of the cellar door!
It's not every little girl who meets and makes friends with tigers—especially a sad one that cries and another one that can sing! And when the tiger sang:

"Rumbly tumbly,
Pull my toes.
Rumbly tumbly,
Rub my nose.
Stripes of yellow.
Stripes of black.
Climb upon
a tiger back,"

the little girl did exactly that. Her adventures with the tigers—and her hope that the tigers weren't a dream, as her mother said, but real, as she believed—make a highly original tale in which reality and imagination blend into a charming whole.
The author's own illustrations perfectly complement a story that will delight small girls with its pleasantly "spooky" quality, tempered by reassuring warmth.
