About:
"A visual delight, a charm of a book - I am writing this review having just bought again an old, lost, favorite. Tomorrow is World Tiger Day - 29th July - I think Fleur Cowles would be heartbroken to learn that since her death wild tiger numbers have plummeted to virtual extinction. I could wish that her royalties and the book itself could be made over to Panthera … I think Fleur would love that."
==
"A tiny tiger tells how he came to be in the land where nothing is as it should be or the way it once was. I was quite young when I reached the sad conclusion that while I really loved pictures, I did not care for art and would never collect paintings: Tiger Flower gave me renewed hope in the fine art medium when I saw that the exquisite illustrations were actually all paintings, owned by various people, museums and galleries around the world. The story sucks - not an uncommon occurrence in books with sublime graphics - but the pictures are simply wonderful."
