The well-behaved hero of this story goes right to bed without any fuss. But the show-off tiger in his closet wants to tap-dance and play the drums. An increasingly annoyed little boy argues, scolds, and pleads. "Oops, Tiger is sorry! Tiger will be very, very quiet," Tiger promises— but it’s hard to be good when you’re alone in the dark. The little boy wonders if he’ll ever get to sleep—until he discovers the best way to deal with a noisy tiger is to let him snuggle into bed with you.

Children who don’t want to settle down at bedtime will happily recognize themselves in this adorable noisemaker.
