The Bad Child's Book of Beasts by  Hilaire Belloc

The Tiger


[Illustration]

The Tiger on the other hand

Is kittenish and mild.

He makes a pretty playfellow

For any little child;


[Illustration]

And mothers of large families

(who claim to common sense)

Will find a Tiger well repay

The trouble and expense.
