5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for children of any age, November 15, 1999

This review is from: The Tyger Voyage (Hardcover)

I received this book over 25 years ago from my uncle/godfather before I could even read. I remember being so mesmerized by the beautiful illustrations, I would make someone read it to me every night just so I could look at the pictures! It's definitely worth an out-of-print search! I got hold of another copy a few years ago which I intend to pass on to my recently-born niece!

5.0 out of 5 stars should be reprinted!, June 11, 1999

I have a copy of this book from years ago when I was a child. I was sad to see that it is out of print, and feel sorry for the children who won't have the opportunity to experience it. I remember many a day of reading and rereading this wonderful book.

I had this book as a child and was always captivated by the illustrations. I loved the story of the tygers and their adventure to lands unkown. I am not sure where my copy is (at my mother's house I'm sure) - but at about 24 years old I felt compelled to seek this book out and have a copy for myself. Now I have a toddler of my own and he loves animals. I hope that he will grow to love this book as much as I have.
