Nayu's thoughts
Izzy is a real sweet girl. I loved her clothes and those of her friends.
It was fun seeing her unable to sit still, something which some
readers will be able to relate to. (I'd just give her a ball of yarn
and a crochet hook so she can learn to crochet to keep active!) I
have to say I wasn't a figidity child, but I've known some and this
book is perfect for them.
Izzy is extremely daring in what she does,
which, despite the consequences, she doesn't entirely learn her
lesson at the end. Hopefully like minded readers will learn from Izzy's mistakes and not tickle a tiger – no good can ever come of
it outside of a book! Plus I'm sure all readers would like their
fingers in tact, which is what I thought may happen to Izzy who poked
and prodded a fair few animals before the tiger.
Suggested read
Izzy should have read Never Lie on A Lion by Alan James Brown (Children's, Picture book, 10E/10E)
