内容简介

画风非常有趣，故事讲述了一直饥饿的衰老的老虎，为了吃到东西，冒充一张虎皮，被富人家铺到了客厅。情节很滑稽。夜晚，每当富人的宴饮结束，老虎就把剩下的吃的一扫而光。慢慢的，老虎长胖了，很难再伪装成一张虎“皮”趴在地上；正在这种尴尬的时候，强盗闯了进来......

最后，老虎受到了终身的优待。到底发生了什么有趣的情节呢？

It's amazing how easy it isfor the tiger to pass himself off as a rug - he enjoys a lifeof

luxury with the rajah'sfamily, snacking on midnight feasts and playing with hischildren.

He goes entirelyundetected, until one night, when he risks expulsion fromhis

comfortable abode asburglars break into the palace and he has to decide whetherto

stay in disguise as a rug -or save the rajah from a horrible beating.

However, tigers who live inhouses can have happy endings, as seen in thisutterly

brilliant picturebook.
