Product Information

This children’s classic was written and illustrated by Judith Kerr. It was originally published in 1968. Robins, Peter (9 August 2008). "Review: The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga". The Daily Telegraph. London. Archived from the original on 17 October 2008 . Retrieved 16 October 2008. Nothing feels padded here. John Vaillant has researched and done his leg work to bring not just a chilling tale of an animal gone wild, but also that tale in complete context of its existence. Everything is pieced together. Nothing is extraneous. The book has been translated into a wide variety of languages, including braille. It has also been adapted for the stage and television.

This book sold millions of copies in several languages and remained on The New York Times and The Globe and Mail best-selling lists for over a year. If you’ve seen the Life of Pi movie, you should read the original book that inspired it. The award-winning novel by Yann Martel is a tale about the unlikely bond that grows between a teenage boy named Pi Patel and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Readers feel like a part of the struggle to protect tigers. The book describes the evolution of the species and alludes to its significant, innate status in human societies and myths. There are scenes in the beginning of this book that will give you chills. A tiger has killed a man and a group of investigators are on the scene. Vaillant describes the remnants of the victim as the group very carefully follows the trail of carnage, seeing what has been left uneaten. The tiger is probably watching. I was hooked very early on. Although the book does not sustain that high level of tingle, it is a fascinating look at the largest feline on earth, the Siberian tiger, or more specifically, the Amur tiger. I particularly liked the author’s description: “this is what you get when you pair the agility and appetites of a cat with the mass of an industrial refrigerator.” Siberians, larger than the more familiar Bengal tigers, max out at about 800 pounds.Peter A.Levine, Ph.D. is the originator and developer of Somatic Experiencing® and the Director of The Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. He holds doctorate degrees in Medical Biophysics and in Psychology. During his thirty five-year study of stress and trauma, Dr. Levine has contributed to a variety of scientific and popular publications. The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr was published in 1968 and was recently turned into a stage play in London. Children's books as theater seems to be having a renaissance of sorts. My inner child is feeling miffed at missing the show. The reaction of the child-reader (or auditor) is guided by the exuberant joy of the child in the story, Sophie, who is obviously delighted with this amazing animal that proceeds to turn their lives upside down by eating all the food in the house and drinking all there is to drink (including the single bottle of beer, this is an abstentious household apparently). It's Sophie's reaction to the tiger that is the key to the book she's fully able to enjoy the pure extravagance of the tiger's behaviour, while the representative adult, in a nice touch of realism, comes across as being a bit overwhelmed even though the tiger is polite throughout and minds its Ps and Qs (at least figuratively, I don't recall how often it actually says please and thank you as one does when invited in for tea).

In dreams, mythical stories, and lore, one universal symbol for the human body and its instinctual nature is the horse. ... When Medusa was slain two things emerged from the body: Pegasus, the winged horse, and Chrysaor, a warrior with a golden sword. ... The sword symbolizes absolute truth, the mythic heroes ultimate weapon of defense. It conveys a sense of clarity and triumph, of rising to meet extraordinary challenges, and of ultimate resourcefulness. The horse signifies instinctual grounding, while wings create ... an image for rising above earthbound existence." (p. 66) In the show clip, Sean announced that he had “reworked an old classic” so that it contained his “two favourite things” tigers and alcohol.I like the way Levine spells out that trauma doesn't just occur from war and violence, but that completely benign situations, like medical procedures, can also traumatize. There is no rule to what can cause trauma. It's all about the subjective experience. Here's the review that led me to read it, by Kelly Robson, https://kellyrobson.com/my-favorite-n... House cats wish they were as big as tigers. (At least my cats do, or seem to, when there are three dogs, not just the one dog, in the house). says the tiger, and he leaves by the same door as he came in, as they all wave goodbye to each other.
