We're big fans of Stanley, so this book was a natural choice for us. The book is not as detailed as the stories on the television show, but the story is good nonetheless, and the facts on tigers are great. The only downside is the CD-ROM. I was hoping for something as cool and fun as the activities and games on the Playhouse Disney website. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM's contents were very basic and I suspect that my 5-year old would rather go online than boot up the CD-ROM after a while. Other than that, I definitely recommend the book - just don't get your hopes up for the CD-ROM.

Got a kid who wants a pet? How about one who loves animals? If you are nodding "yes, please, help get my sweet litle boy/girl off my back" then TIGER TIME FOR STANLEY is the answer to your prayers.

Critter loving Stanley (also the hero in Griff's previous book, SHARK-MAD STANLEY) starts wondering if a tiger would make a better pet than his cat, Elsie. You read along as Stanley rates the pros and cons of tiger life (ex: they are more exciting than cats, but they'd need MORE than just canned food...)

As in SHARK-MAD STANLEY, Griff (aka Andrew Griffin) combines a whimsical story with real animal facts (did you know that tigers don't purr...?) The computer generated illustrations are marvelous. But best of all for my money, it comes with an interactive CD-ROM takes readers into Stanley's world, complete with games, tiger facts, a screen saver, and Stanley's notebook to name just a few. A wonderful series, especialy for young animal lovers.

Fun to read with your grandkids, and a good story whether or not they have pets, especially cats.
