Tiger in a Tutu
Fabi Santiago
Max isn't like other tigers - he is a tiger with a dream! He longs to pirouette and plié, to leap and spin. He wants to be a dazzling ballet dancer, shining on the stage ... and a very special friend might just help his dream come true. A delightfully funny story about friendship, self-belief and following your dreams. ""The saga of Max and his determination to get on the stage reads something like a fun version of Billy Elliot."" Independent ""Little dancers will love to see Max triumph and get his moment in the spotlight.""

I really love this story because Max the tiger has a dream, he wants to be a ballet dancer. He wears a pink tutu and dances everywhere where but keeps getting chased away because tigers aren't allowed to join any dance classes. He has music in his heart and wants to dance. He never gives up until he makes his dream come true

Brillant book,it tells that you can be anything you want to be and don’t care what the over people think it always comes back to you in a good way.

I liked the picture of the Eiffel tower, I didn't like the part when the tiger was sad because no one would watch his dancing. I liked the ending as everyone clapped the tiger and the girl and tiger became friends. I would recommend the book for the pictures and the nice ending.

I like this book because the tiger is very sad at the start but then he is happy at the end when he can be a ballerina.

It thought it was good, I liked how the little ballerina was kind to the tiger. I gave it 4 because the pictures of Paris weren't in the right places.

It's quite funny and it's quite cool. I liked it when the ballerina helped the tiger in the tutu.

I liked this book because the tiger got in a tutu because he really wanted to be a ballet dancer and he made friends with a little girl and got to dance on the stage in front of everyone and be happy!
