Tiger — Jane Johnson

Sammy is not good at parties. He's too shy. And it seems like this party will be like all the others -- until Sammy meets the Face Painter, who transforms him into a Tiger, and Tigers are NOT shy at parties! They are “big, beautiful, the bravest of creatures!” The children all imitate their chosen animals, and when the parents come to pick them up, Sammy doesn't want to leave. He stays until the very end. What a brave Tiger! Jane Johnson's first book, Sybil and the Blue Rabbit, was a runner�"up for the Mother Goose Award.
