Tiger in My Soup by Kashmira Sheth is about a little boy is left in his sister’s care for a day, and he tries to get her to read his favorite book about a tiger. But his sister is too busy reading her own book while listening to music through her ear buds in her ears. “Later,” is how she responds to her little brother when he pleads with her to read him his story. This continues until he asks for something to eat. She heats up some soup and gives him a bowl of soup to eat. Laughing out loud. This is when the story starts to get really interesting. As the little boy begins to eat his soup, he sees the tiger in his soup. The tiger comes out of the soup. The boy is now battling the tiger all by himself. Chasing him around the kitchen, stabbing it with a spoon. All the while, his sister is still reading her book and listening to music. Its not until the tiger is chased back into the soup that his sister decides to read his favorite book. This book is fun and full of excitement and adventure. The pictures depicted the story very well. This is a fabulous tale that is woven particularly for children. It pairs beautifully with the illustrations—they’re gorgeous! One day, a little boy is being taken care of by his sister. He desperately wants her to read to him, but she keeps blowing him off. Finally, he starts imagining a tiger coming out of the soup that she made him for lunch! When she reads his book to him, the tiger seems to come out of her—the little boy doesn’t know where the tiger will show up next. A GREAT story!
