My seven-year-old daughter received this book as a birthday present. It appeals to her sense of whimsy and word-play. She enjoys writing and since her brother got to do a review, she wanted to review this book. Here it is:

I Asked a Tiger to Tea is a funny book with very funny poems. It has new pictures [by Melanie Hall] to go with old poems [by Ivy O. Eastwick]. My favorite poem is The Extraordinary Puffin because there is a puffin trying to learn all he can -- history, geography, algebra, wisdom and wit. I want to be as smart as he is.

May is my birthday month and the poem "May" feels like it was written just for me.

Oh, this looks wonderful, Vijaya! I must get it for my 7-year-old! Thanks for the tip!
That's a new title for me. I'll need to check it out. I'm always on the lookout for wonderful poetry to add to my library. Tell your daughter nice job!
Stella, I will.
The kids have loved poems from the beginning, but as they grew older, funny and whimsical poems became their favorites. I love it when they can't help but memorize them ...
