Representaion Toward Books The Tiger Rising

The National Book Award finalist from the best-selling author of Because of Winn-Dixie—now in paperback Walking through the misty Florida woods one morning, twelve-year-old Rob Horton is stunned to encounter a tiger—a real-life, very large tiger—pacing back and forth in a cage. What's more, on the same extraordinary day, he meets Sistine Bailey, a girl who shows her feelings as readily as Rob hides his. As they learn to trust each other, and ultimately, to be friends, Rob and Sistine prove that some things—like memories, and heartaches, and tigers—can't be locked up forever.

Comment On Of Books The Tiger Rising

I loved this book. It is a very short read, but in that time I went from anger, sadness, to hope. My 7 year old daughter actually picked this up on the clearance shelf and read it before I did, and she loved it as well, which surprised me because it is sad, and the subject matter heavy, and it isn't about a Tiger (which is what drew her to it originally). I guess sometimes we don't give our young readers enough credit for their ability to empathize and see the beauty in such "real" novels.A full

It's hard for me to talk about your mama. I wouldn't never have believed that I could miss somebody the way I miss her. Saying her name pains me. But I'll say it for you. I'll try on account of you. This book made me cry in front of my third grade class. It was sudden and painful and even now makes me weepy because I thought of my dad and how much I miss him. I thought about all the things that hurt even after 8 years. Remembering all the good times is bittersweet and it always brings smiles but

Like her earlier work, Because of Winn-Dixie , which was awarded a Newbery Honor in 2001, this slim children's novel is set in Florida, and follows the story of a young person coping with an absent mother and a distant father. In The Tiger Rising, Rob Horton, still reeling from the death of his mother, and recently moved to a new town, is confronted with bullying at his new school. His father, also deeply bereaved, has made it very clear that Rob is not to express his grief, not to cry. Then

I read this book while at camp. It wasn't very exciting, or with much of a climax. Let me give you a plot summary- There is a tiger in town, this girl likes it, and so does this boy. They want to let it out, but the boy's father works for the man who is holding the tiger captive. SO they finally let the tiger go, and guess what, the dad shoots it. He claims a loose tiger would've been dangerous.... The ending leaves you with a "so what" effect, leaving you to wonder what you gained from the

With the slow-moving plot, bland narrator, southern setting, sad ending, repressed dad, and dead mom, Im shocked this didnt win a Newberry Medal. That being said, still three stars because Sistine is awesome. (Though the audiobook narrator read her horribly. He made her tone sound completely bratty all the time. Not a fan!)

Sometimes when I pick a read-aloud for my students I have one student in mind who I hope it touches. I was surprised by who connected to this short sad story. Beatriz is not my class star. She is not a trouble maker or time-taker either. She loved this book and today as I finished it and we spent sometime reflecting on it she surprised me by being the one student who really got that this story isn't really about a tiger. They key word in the title is actually "rising". This book is the first

I have been a huge fan of Kate DiCamillo's writing for a long time, often comparing some aspects of her children's books to literary fiction. This book, while not her best, did not disappoint. As usual in DiCamillo's longer works, there is a dark side to this tale of a boy whose mother recently passed away, whose father works as a maintenance man at a run-down motel, and whose inner pain is so strong that it causes his legs to sprout blisters. DiCamillo takes this boy, Rob, and makes me want to
