Ten Tiny Tigers

Book cover Ten tiny tigers are reduced one by one after misadventures.

Ten Tiny Tigers (Volume 3) are progressively eliminated by a series of accidents - falling in paint, going too close to a bee hive, zooming off the trampoline. The style is the same for each page, with four rhymed lines that have a tiddly-pom rhythm, "Ten Tiny Tigers / Standing in a line / One had a tantrum / Now there are nine". Ten Tiny Tigers is practises counting backwards, /t/ sounds, ing endings on verbs and rhyming. Even numbered tigers are female, odd numbers are male to show her and his possessive pronouns. There's cautionary advise about playing with sharp sticks but it ends happily.
