Book: It’s a Tiger! by David LaRochelle, illustrated by Jeremy Tankard
Rhyme: Tiger Cub, Tiger Cub
Tiger cub, tiger cub turn around,
Tiger cub, tiger cub touch the ground.
Tiger cub, tiger cub show your claws,
Tiger cub, tiger cub shake your paws.
Tiger cub, tiger cub jump up high,
Tiger cub, tiger cub show me a smile.
Tiger cub, tiger cub creep along the ground,
Tiger cub, tiger cub pounce without a sound.
