Tiger Learns to Fly

Tiger Learns to Fly

Sometimes, it’s hard to believe, even a tiger is bored. And sometimes, no amount of playing football with the vultures, singing with the wildebeest or acting with the monkeys can help a tiger against this boredom.

Learn to fly, that would be it, Tiger thinks one day. But that turns out to be more difficult than expected: The nasty cranes can only laugh at his first failed attempts … until the clever spectacled bear decides to lend his tiger friend a helping hand …

“The brother and sister duo have succeeded in every respect with this debut. The cute story about the tiger, who tries all sorts of things to escape his boredom and ultimately finds exactly what he is passionate about and is supported by his good friend, is both imaginative and heart-warming.
Tiger Learns to Fly invites you to dream and shows that wishes can come true if you believe in them. Highly recommended!” – Education Group
