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. 8203 This magical picture book about imagination and play will spark the interest of every child."

Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 5, 2018 Nora is bored, and when Grandma tells her that there’s a tiger in her garden—as well as “dragonflies the sizes of birds and plants that can swallow you up whole!”—the girl is both skeptical and annoyed. “I’m too old for silly games!” she says. But readers can see a tiger tail poking out from the foliage, and since there’s nothing else to do, Nora sallies forth. First-time author-illustrator Stewart portrays the garden with a Rousseaulike lushness and fantasy: dragonflies fill the sky with wings that look like stained-glassed windows, and among the flora are hungry-looking plants that resemble bright red lips with teeth. It may take readers a little while to warm to Nora, who initially seems more bratty than independent minded, but Stewart believably traces her thawing attitude in a way that shows how a bit of open-mindedness (and nudging) can lead to rewarding and unexpected adventures. And Nora more than meets her match in the sleek, unruffled tiger, who Grandma later admits might just be a ginger cat. “Are you real?” Nora asks. “I don’t know,” the tiger replies. “Are you?” Ages 4–7."
