Tiger vs. Nightmare

by Emily Tetri

Overall Book Review:

Tiger vs. Nightmare by Emily Tetri was an adorable graphic novel. Little Tiger is friends with the Monster under her bed. Since Monster needs to scare someone, she and Tiger have a deal: instead of scaring Tiger, Monster spends the nights scaring off her nightmares instead.

But one night a nightmare comes who might be too much for Monster to defeat. It will take both Tiger and Monster working together to defeat the spooky nightmare for once and for all.

This will be a book that even young children can enjoy. It gives a cute message of friendship against all odds, and how that friendship can defeat even the scariest obstacles.
