Using Little Tiger books in the classroom

The Little Tiger Press list contains a huge variety of high quality picture books which are particularly suitable for children in the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1.

Little Tiger books introduce children to diverse writing and illustration styles and subject matters, so that all tastes are catered for. Our books introduce issues and experiences that children will find useful to explore. Through the use of humour, language, rhyme and rhythm — as well as exciting and satisfying storylines — we aim to help children develop a lifelong love of books.
