About the Book

A tiger carries a dining room chair on her back. But why? Where is she going? With just one word per page, in lush, colour-rich landscapes, we learn about the features that make up our world: an archipelago, a dune, an isthmus, a lagoon. Across them all, the tiger roams. This enigmatic investigation of our world's most beautiful places from bestselling author Dave Eggers is beautifully illustrated by debut artist Angel Chang.

About the Author :
Dave Eggers is an American writer, editor, and publisher. He is known for the best-selling memoir A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and for his subsequent work as a novelist and screenwriter. He is also the founder of McSweeney's, the co-founder of the literacy project 826 Valencia, and the founder of ScholarMatch, a program that matches donors with students needing funds for university tuition. Angel Chang is an artist who lives in Taiwan. This is her first book.

Review :
"[S]tunning artwork makes a case for environmentalism and will have readers strapping on a chair and heading out in search of our planet's diverse and wondrous beauty."-- Booklist, starred review "A white tiger transports a yellow dining room chair on a fantastic voyage across varied landscapes. Each spread features a single topographic designation. The tiger swims, climbs, hikes, rows, and meanders his way across a tundra, estuary, atoll, cloud forest, and more. The wonderful illustrations will excite viewers about the natural world."--School Library Journal "An artistic envisioning of a list poem, of sorts, about place. Repeated perusals will have readers proclaiming it's grrrrr-eat."-- Kirkus Reviews, Starred review "As entertaining as it is educational, this book has much to offer young naturalists and budding scientists."-Horn Book Magazine "Dave Eggers's stunning picture book introduces the youngest readers to words that identify the natural world's wonders."-- Shelf Awareness, starred review "Eggers (What Can a Citizen Do?) and newcomer Chang imagine a wild world emptied of humans, their buildings, their vehicles, and their trash-landscapes that make [a] tiger's expedition gloriously free and startlingly beautiful."--Publishers Weekly
