Tiggy Tiger, Brave Explorer — Claire Freedman

Tiggy Tiger is still a very little tiger, but he wants his friends to see him as brave and strong, the way big tigers are expected to be. So off he goes through the jungle, bouncing and pouncing, and practicing his growl. Then from off in the distance comes Mr. Grumpy Thumpy Rhinoceros, and the big old rhino is in a bad mood. Will Tiggy Tiger's growl be big enough and loud enough to protect his friends? If not -- can Mom come to Tiggy Tiger's rescue? This amusing and tender little story for toddlers has appealing, softly tinted watercolor illustrations on every page.
