Synopsis
A charming and very simple story for the very young about a tiger and a cub who strays too far from his parents and gets chased by crocodiles and swallowed by a whale. Luckily all ends happily. It sends a warm and friendly message about listening to your parents.
The story is vividly illustrated with rich art and collage. This is Joanne Partis's first book and is adapted from her art school project. She lives in Loughborough.

From Kirkus Reviews
This first American edition of a British title rehashes the classic story of an accidental adventure that results when a young one disobeys his parents warnings. His first steps beyond the safety of parents lead the young tiger, Stripe, into the dangerous (and forbidden) jungle. In a run from angry bees he dives into the water, only to be chased by a riverful of hungry crocodiles. Atop his makeshift log of a raft, he heads for safety in the mouth of a cave, which proves to be the jaws of a whale. Predictably, Stripe tickles the top of the whales mouth and a huge whale of a sneeze sends him flying, then falling, falling, falling until he lands safe at home in the laps of his mom and dad. The so-called adventure does not carry suspense or mounting tension, nor does it chart new territory; still, young readers will cheer Stripe to safety, thanks to the pleasing vitality of the illustrations, which imbue Stripe with all of his personality. Stripe is a frisky fellow, cavorting through lollipop trees in a candy-colored jungle or swirling with patterned fishes in curlicues of ocean blue. Hell be fun to have around.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-Stripe's parents warn him not to go into the jungle alone, but when they fall asleep, the little tiger sneaks off for an unforgettable adventure. First he is chased by a swarm of angry bees. Then he is almost eaten by hungry crocodiles that run him out to sea. Just when he thinks he is safe inside a cave, he realizes he is inside the mouth of a whale. Scared and cold, he thinks of a way to escape: he tickles the roof of the creature's mouth with his tail and the resulting sneeze propels him into the air and back home where his parent's are just awakening. Stripe's curiosity about the jungle is more than satisfied and he is happy not to return for a long time. Partis's artwork is colorful and textured with interesting brush strokes and batiklike patterns. A good choice for novice armchair adventurers.
