Hold Your Temper, Tiger!

(4) PS Illustrated by Rashin. Little Tiger's temper, illustrated as a red flame-like entity, sticks close to Tiger, yelling and stomping right along with him during tantrums. When Mama says, "you had better hold your temper," Tiger wonders what that means. The wordplay (which goes unexplained) may be obtuse for preschoolers, but they should relate to stubborn Tiger's feelings of frustration. Dominated by red, Rashin's childlike art suits the story.
