Picture book about a little boy named Pocu who lives in the jungle. No one will play with him so he runs off into the trees with his big imagination. There, he conjures up a beautiful tiger who soon becomes dangerous. Pocu must find a way to reverse his imagination and return to his family.

I don't think I would use this book in my classroom. It's a little outdated and written by a white author speaking on a culture not of her own.

What a great read aloud. Gorgeous evocative illustrations of the jungle and the danger that lurks there. ( )
