What a beautiful and sweet book. The rhyming was lovely as were the illustrations. I think I'll have to work it into one of my pajama storytimes soon - not a bed time book exactly, but it has just the right rhythm and feel.

This is sweet and sort of surreal all at the same time. I kept looking for some sort of symbolism, but I don't think it was meant to be read like that. And I kept wondering why the tiger is only ever seen when the full moon is shining bright. Well, it really doesn't matter. The point is the girl and the tiger enjoying their magical dances together in all seasons. And the moonlight adds a lovely glow to all of the really great illustrations. I love that the girl (now much older) was able to share the experience with her great granddaughter. The rhyming text is really nice and calls out for this one to be read aloud.
