When her new brother arrives Gracie finds that Tommy is the centre of attention. Despite Gracie's repertoire of acrobatic stunts, all grown-up eyes are on Tommy and his rapid tiger development as he learns to smile, crawl and walk. Tommy, on the other hand, does not miss a trick and when he learns to talk, no one is in doubt whom he thinks is the real star. Offen's wildly bright illustrations of tigers and lions, clad and acting like humans, have a great deal to say and have to be read with care to appreciate the story in full
