Mr. tiger who is fed up with being so proper that he goes wild. He was bored with being proper. He wanted to be wild. Mr. Tiger became wild and wilder each day.He friends told him if he is wild he must go live in the wild jungle. Mr. Tiger realized that he missed his friends, the city and his home. He found that things were starting to become themselves. He was much happier and so was everyone else.

Love this! Hawaiian shirt that shows your chest hair = middle ground between Victorian repression and roaring at trees naked, and also this book gets that you're a tiger. Nice for rambunctious but sweethearted three-year-olds.

Mr. Tiger begins to find the restrictions of polite society rather tiresome in this entertaining picture-book from Peter Brown, eventually going a little bit too wild to stay in the big city with all of his friends. Although his sojourn in the wild is liberating, eventually he finds the solitude too much to bear, returning to the city. Once there he sees signs of change: elements of the wild have begun to encroach on urban life...As a companion to Brown's The Curious Garden, which looks at the creation of a marvelous green garden-city, Mr. Tiger Goes Wild has immense appeal, emphasizing the need for a more natural and less restrictive society, one in which animals (and people!) can be themselves. Read this way, I found it immensely appealing, enjoying both the story and the beautiful artwork, created using multiple media, from pencil to gouache. That said, an alternative reading, one with which I am far less comfortable, suggests the idea that in order to find self-fulfillment one must set aside all of society's restrictions. As always, I am leery of the ways we tie self-indulgence to self-fulfillment in our current society, and depict any form of restriction as a form of stifling of creativity and individuality. As someone decidedly not on board with the idea that we should be allowed to do whatever we want, regardless of the consequences - some restrictions are a good thing, in order to protect the welfare and rights of all! - I am always mindful of the ways in which children's books address issues of creativity and conformity, and the balance between individual rights and responsibilities. I am not sure that Brown's tale really crosses that line, between championing the individual's right to dissent from the group, and depicting all social restrictions as unjust and unjustified, but the issue was at the back of my mind as I read, and one I continue to ponder.

In a Richard Scarry sort of world all the different animals dress like people and live in houses and walk bipedally and work at jobs. And then Mr. Tiger decides to go wild, just a tiny bit. Brown's palette reminds me of picture books from the seventies, in a very good way, lots of orange and avocado. There was no way I couldn't love it.

I just *know* I'm going to love this.

-------
Yup, I do. Not enough to want to own, or push everyone to read, but certainly enough to recommend to anyone who reads fables, enjoys quality illustrations, or has children. I think I, personally, would prefer more color, more exuberance, especially at the end.

[atroesch-1 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

The moral of this story is to be true to yourself! I think this would be a great read with a younger class audience and would help support the idea of being yourself and honoring the person you are. I was really taken by the illustrations and the darling animals dressed in human clothes.

Super cute picture book about anthropomorphized animals beginning to return to their to their natural wild states. The author nicely integrated a message about being true to yourself as well. Illustrations are just lovely.

Mr. Tiger Goes Wild is a story about a tiger who lives in a city with only proper animals. The book depicts the city as mostly gray. Then Mr. Tiger finds himself letting loose and becomes himself. The people in the city do not except his new demeanor and so he goes off on his own. In the wild he discovers that he is lonely and returns home to a new city which embraces individuality. The visual imagery in this book is inviting and uses the transition from black/white/grays to vivid colors to suggest a change in the story.

Mr. Tiger gets in touch with his inner animal and inspires his friends to do the same. Perfectly, wildly wonderful!

This story is about a tiger who lives in a world where all the animals wear suits and ties and follow a strict lifestyle of going and coming to work in a mundane world. Until, Mr Tiger finally does something not so expected and starts to become wild. All the other animals follow him and learn to accept their nature. It can be a great book for teaching predictions.

my favorite book by this author

[kberryman44 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

This is a very amusing story about wanting to be who you were born to be, and not letting societal rules/norms or other people's opinions get in the way. I love how colorful, and lush the illustrations and feel that they elevate the overall story. I teach my students to be themselves, and this book is a great example of that lesson.

Wild animals in a Victorian setting: tiger's had enough. But when he goes totally wild, he finds that the social isolation is too much too. He and his friends both change to find a balance. Cute illustrations and might bring up some interesting conversations about behavior.

Read on March 12, 2014We all need to go a little wild sometimes. If that means get naked and run around in the wilderness, then have at it. ;-)The illustrations are wonderful and the message is a good one: be yourself.

[jsanfi1 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

This is a wonderful story with the main message to embrace who you are as a person, do not mind what others will think; they may embrace it too. I love how the illustrations in this book go along with the story. For example, in the first few pages in the book the tiger is the only one who is in a bright color. His bright orange fur stands out in order to demonstrate how different he is and how different he feels in this story. Every other animal and building is illustrated in shades of brown. At the end of the story, everything becomes more colorful to show the hopeful and happy ending. I also like how the author made the characters all animals. It is easy for children to notice that the animals seem uptight, and not themselves, because they are acting like proper people; in reality they should be wild. This characterization makes the main message easier for young readers to pick up on.

Retro. Genius. Effervescent. Fun. Peter Brown is a force to be reckoned with.

The colorful Mr. Tiger wants to break free from the dull and muted lives of his friends. The illustrations do a great job of showing this when portraying the city and the jungle,and the tiger and his friends. Great for a slow/ low energy day in the classroom,

[whisper1_1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

Whimpsical, fun and lovely, this is a book about Mr. Tiger who is very bored with having to be prim and proper day in and day out. While everyone else was fine with staus quo, Mr. Tiger wanted to shake things up a bit.And, instead of walking upright, he walked on all four paws. Instead of the same ole tame behaviors, he decided to get wilder and wilder each day, roaring, jumping into fountains and running around without clothes, he thought his new life was magnificent. When he ran away to the wilderness, he discovered he missed his old life and grew lonely When he returned, much to his surprise the other animals had loosened up and had fun some days.The lesson: Too much fun can grow weary, but we all need to let our hair down once in a while.

I thought that this book was amazing! It was extremely cute and fun to read. The illustrations were phenomenal – I really like Peter Brown’s personal style. I also like that this book has a message – that everyone should go a little wild sometimes…but not overboard!

[debnance_1 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Oh yes. I completely identify with Mr. Tiger. So buttoned up. In a stuffy, buttoned up world. And with a great, unexpected desire to go wild. And he does. He goes wild. He loves going wild. But he misses his friends.Happily, he finds that when he returns the world has changed a little; everyone is a little bit wilder. And Mr. Tiger is able to stay with with his friends and be a little bit wild now and then.

Mr. Tiger is a proper Edwardian gentleman. He and his fellow creatures live properly buttoned-down lives in a properly bland city of brownstones and fountains and very little color. When Mr. Tiger decides to have some fun...to go a little wild...to find the color...the other animals tell him to head for the wilderness.So he does, and it's wonderful. For a while. But it's lonely to be the only wild creature in the great big wilderness, so Mr. Tiger heads back to the city. There he finds that things have changed and everybody's, shall we say, loosened up a bit. If you're at all familiar with Peter Brown's work (Chowder,Children Make Terrible Pets, The Curious Garden) you already know to expect two things: gorgeous illustrations--here cunningly rendered in India ink, watercolor, gouache, and pencil on paper, then put through the digital wringer for an extra bit of magic, and a little bit of subversion. As the author himself says on the dust jacket, "Hello. I am Peter Brown, and it is my professional opinion that everyone should find time to go a little wild." Duly noted, Mr. Brown, duly noted.
