Description

Award-winning author Sally Gardner delivers another whimsical tale about the daughter of a mermaid and an ice cream maker, a mysterious talking tiger, and a search for a sea dragon's magical underwater orchard in this second book in the Mr. Tiger series.

From a magical world of well-dressed animals, talking toads, and bossy princesses comes a fresh tale of Mr. Tiger, Betsy K. Glory, and a wicked pirate in search of golden apples. A rare egg has gone missing and a very unhappy sea dragon wants it back. It's time for Mr. Tiger, Betsy, and the Gongalongs to set sail on their second adventure.

ALA/Booklist

The text, once again, is rendered in a dyslexia-friendly font, and the utterly charming blue-toned illustrations are a perfect complement. Frequent perspective shifts and the sheer number of characters may be slightly daunting for younger readers, but it’s nonetheless a pleasure to slip back into Betsy’s whimsical world.
