The first of the Texas 2x2 nominee books Mom and I read was "I am a Tiger." I am a Tiger" was written by Karl Newson and illustrated by Ross Collins. Mouse is the main character in this story, but he does not believe that he IS a mouse. In fact, Mouse has big dreams; he is convinced that he is a tiger. One at a time, all of the other animals take turns trying to convince Mouse that he is a not a tiger, but Mouse is determined. He lists all of the reasons that he knows he is a tiger. Not even Tiger himself can convince Mouse that he is wrong. In fact, Mouse tries to convince the other animals that they are not who they think they are.
This funny and engaging story will make readers laugh out loud. Collins mede the illustrations are large, bright and colorful, with easily recognizable animals that stand out on the plain blue background.
