LoveReading4Kids Says
Two little friends play, try to help, make a mess and say sorry before a cosy family tea in this charming new story starring Tiger and Mei.
Setting out on a sunny morning they see Granny picking tea leaves and Tiger thinks it looks fun. They try too, but it’s harder than it looks, especially with big paws. Papa is busy drying tea leaves and that looks fun too, but proves just as tricky – oops! When they accidentally pull the handle from the churn, there’s only one thing to do – run! But as they start to get hungry, they know it’s time to go home.
Tiger is worried about being in trouble, but ‘Don’t worry,’ says Mei, ‘It will be alright’, and, of course, it is.
Tiger and Mei’s friendship is depicted with real warmth and character and their day of adventure and mishaps will resonate with every child who’s every tried to ‘help’. Daishu Ma’s bright, bold oil and pastel illustrations give a lovely texture to Tiger’s fur and the greens and blues of the tea groves are gorgeous too.
A lovely book to share with children, and it will make your cup of tea extra special too!
