WINNER of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2017, Illustrated Books Category Over 50,000 copies sold in the UK When Grandma says she’s seen a tiger in the garden, Nora doesn’t believe her. She’s too old to play Grandma’s silly games! Everyone knows that tigers live in jungles, not gardens… So even when Nora sees dragonflies with wings as big as her arm, and plants that try and eat her toy giraffe, and a polar bear that likes fishing, she knows there’s absolutely, DEFINITELY no way there could be a tiger in the garden… Could there? Written and illustrated by Lizzy Stewart, Nora’s grandma’s garden becomes a paradise filled by fluttering wings, a deep and dangerous jungle, and even a polar fishing pond. The wonderfully independent Nora, accompanied by her best friend Jeff the Giraffe, gradually discovers the fun of imagining in this instant classic. ​ This magical picture book about imagination and play will spark the interest of every child.

LIZZY STEWART has been a freelance illustrator since graduation from Edinburgh College of Art in 2009. In 2013 she completed an MA in Communication Design at Central St Martins. She was selected as one of It’s Nice That’s Graduates 2009 and was nominated for a British Comic Book Award in 2013. Her inspirations include folk culture, flora and fauna and life in far-flung cities and a compulsive need to tell stories. Lizzy lives in London, where she teaches on behalf of the National Portrait Gallery.If and when the weather brightens up I plan to set up a little hunt for the children in our own garden – I’m going to get a picture of dragonflies, a polar bear and a tiger and make into a jigsaw; hiding the pieces around out garden for them to find; although the way our weather is at the moment that could be some time away! Nora and Jeff, her giraffe, are bored at Grandma’s, there is nothing to do. When Grandma suggests they go for a walk in the garden to look for the tiger, Nora does not believe her. Nor does she believe there are dragonflies as big as birds, plants that can eat you whole, and a grumpy polar bear. But off her and Jeff set anyway, reluctant at first until discoveries are made. In an attempt to cure her granddaughter's boredom, a grandmother casually mentions that there is a tiger in her garden. The resulting, fruitful search is enough to dent the certainty of even the most sceptical of child explorers!

Working closely with Lizzy Stewart, this is the first time the book has been presented as a piece of live theatre by this new, local company. Bored at home with nothing to do, Nora is sent out to play in the garden in search of a tiger. Have your imaginations at the ready as our story unfolds and we see Nora’s world grow around her. Exploring the power of the imagination, we invite families to follow Nora as she discovers the wonders lurking beneath the hydrangeas and hidden beyond the shrubbery. Come and listen, play, engage and enjoy the brilliance of this story brought to life for the first time.Nora, when visiting her grandma, suffers a severe case of boredom. Encouraged by grandma to explore outside on the pretext that she believes there to be a tiger living in the garden. Doubtful of this, young Nora and her toy giraffe, Jeff, nevertheless embark on an adventure which sees them encounter carnivorous plants, dragonflies, a grumpy polar bear, and the fabled tiger. 'Extraordinarily friendly' and polite, the tiger and Nora become firm friends once the latter has convinced herself that he is indeed real. Imagination is at the heart of this book and, in my experience, year two children ably entertain two understandings of its content, one in which they interpret the tiger as real, and another in which he is a product of Nora's (and grandma's) imagination; visual clues as to the origin of the more exotic characters abound in the illustrations and suggest the tiger is in fact grandma's ginger cat and the polar bear a soft toy, while, inevitably, the carnivorous plants are innocuous bushes. The book encourages children to use their powers of observation and imagination, and they readily engage with the story and its message. The book is all about a little girl who plays in her Grandma’s garden, not believing the creatures that live there, until she of course meets them. Since this book arrived we have read it many times and the children love it. Children can make their own beautiful pop-up book using this imaginative kit, a little glue, and following simple step-by-step instructions. The result is a series of magical gardens--French, Japanese, Arabian, tropical, and dreamlike--through which a mysterious tiger wanders.
