NeverTickleaTiger


By: Pamela Butchart • Illustrations: Marc Boutavant Translation: Elias Matar

Izzy (Marah in the Arabic version) is always shuffling, jiggling, squirming and twitching. She just can’t keep still! So when her school go on a trip to the zoo, her teacher warns her to behave. She must never wriggle, she must never fidget and she must certainly NEVER TICKLE A TIGER! But does Izzy listen? She does NOT – and what happens next throws the zoo into complete chaos.

Age Group:

Dear Parents,

Perhaps our child is just like Marah, curious and creative, but finds it challenging to adhere to the boundaries we set for him to keep him safe. If we increase the limits, his difficulty may increase as well. Balancing between what is allowed and what is prohibited may make it easier for him to follow the rules. Also, we may need to repeat this conversation every time we go out with him.

We must realize that a child who finds boundaries difficult, just like Marah, does not behave the way he behaves to annoy us or others. He struggles with boundaries, so we must understand and support him by suggesting different ways to help him to control his behavior.
