Summary
Tiger-Tiger， Is It True？ is a story about a little tiger who thinks that his whole world is falling apart: his parents don't love him， his friends have abandoned him， and life is unfair。
But a wise turtle asks him four questions， and everything changes。 He realizes that all his problems are not caused by things， but by his thoughts about things; and that when he questions his thoughts， life becomes wonderful again。
This is a heartwarming story with a powerful message that can transform the lives of even very young children。 Byron Katie's wisdom-filled words and Hans Wilhelm's vivid， magical illustrations combine to make a book that will become one of the classics of children's literature。

Not just for kids， adults could also use this book for reminders every once in a while。 The Work is a life long process

I had heard of ‘The Work，’ of course。 And this is taking the four questions that form the framework for that and applying it so that children can understand。 And adults even more so。 I end up making a lot of assumptions and the four questions are really helpful in stepping back and understanding the reality of a situation or person without the burden of our thoughts to color it。

If I had one， and only one， book to purchase for a young person this would be the book。 How wonderful it would be to have this wisdom， perspective， view， and appreciation for the power of thought and now easily one can move beyond the illusory perceptions our minds would have us believe is true。 Highly recommend to anyone of any age。

So preachy。。。 Too wordy for a storytime

Why make it harder than it has to be？ The Work condensed into 32 beautifully illustrated pages。 :-）

I am going to buy a copy for the school counselor at my elementary school！ Great picture book to interrupt the downward spiral of "nobody likes me" and "I'm stupid" that suck in so many of our kiddos---thereby shutting down most learning and enjoyment of life。 I am going to buy a copy for the school counselor at my elementary school！ Great picture book to interrupt the downward spiral of "nobody likes me" and "I'm stupid" that suck in so many of our kiddos---thereby shutting down most learning and enjoyment of life。 。。。more

A fun， kid-friendly book to flesh out the CBT concept of thought-stopping。 As an elementary school counselor who works with anxiety， I think this is a wonderful resource to help kids understand the power of their thoughts in influencing how they feel and react。 I will be using this in an anxiety group！

This is one of the most powerful and simple children's stories I have ever read。 To think that a thought can be so powerful and emotional and could be dissipated by simply thinking whether its truly true， whether it's possible to know if it's truly true， how we react we we believe the thought， and who would we be without it is revolutionary。 Presenting it in this easy to understand and engaging manner was a stroke of genius。 A must read for adults and an easy way to teach reflection skills to ch This is one of the most powerful and simple children's stories I have ever read。 To think that a thought can be so powerful and emotional and could be dissipated by simply thinking whether its truly true， whether it's possible to know if it's truly true， how we react we we believe the thought， and who would we be without it is revolutionary。 Presenting it in this easy to understand and engaging manner was a stroke of genius。 A must read for adults and an easy way to teach reflection skills to children。 。。。more

Excellent book for helping children learn to question their own thoughts when they are feeling down and gather evidence for the opposite。

Buku yang cocok untuk mengajarkan optimisme pada anak。 Dulu saya pernah mempelajari learned helplessness， di mana orang terjebak pada siklus negatif， menimbulkan keyakinan bahwa hal-hal buruk terjadi terus pada dirinya。 Byron Katie mengajak pembaca melihat apakah hal buruk yang menimpa Tiger selalu terjadi？ Apakah tidak ada orang lain yang peduli pada dirinya？ Buku ini mengajak anak untuk melihat dengan logis hal-hal buruk lalu bagaimana menyikapinya。 Dan akhirnya mengajak anak untuk belajar ber Buku yang cocok untuk mengajarkan optimisme pada anak。 Dulu saya pernah mempelajari learned helplessness， di mana orang terjebak pada siklus negatif， menimbulkan keyakinan bahwa hal-hal buruk terjadi terus pada dirinya。 Byron Katie mengajak pembaca melihat apakah hal buruk yang menimpa Tiger selalu terjadi？ Apakah tidak ada orang lain yang peduli pada dirinya？ Buku ini mengajak anak untuk melihat dengan logis hal-hal buruk lalu bagaimana menyikapinya。 Dan akhirnya mengajak anak untuk belajar berpikir dan bersikap optimis。 。。。more

Mentioned by somebody doing the same MOOC as me when we were discussing self-compassion。 Quite a sweet book but maybe a bit complicated for very young children

The main point of this book is that are problems are not caused by events or things or other people。 Our problems are caused by our thoughts about things。。。。definitely something not only children， but adults need to learn。

I love the concept of this book: a simplified CBT to help young kids deal with difficult feelings and bad thoughts。 The illustrations suggest a young target audience （I guess， 4-7）， but the language is so wordy and awkward that it's too tricky for this age group。 For example: "how does it feel if you are not thinking the thought that nobody cares and nobody likes you？" Even I had to read that a couple of times！ I try to simply it for the kids as we're reading。。。 But the story is cute and it touc I love the concept of this book: a simplified CBT to help young kids deal with difficult feelings and bad thoughts。 The illustrations suggest a young target audience （I guess， 4-7）， but the language is so wordy and awkward that it's too tricky for this age group。 For example: "how does it feel if you are not thinking the thought that nobody cares and nobody likes you？" Even I had to read that a couple of times！ I try to simply it for the kids as we're reading。。。 But the story is cute and it touches on issues that really start to affect young ones as they negotiate more complex social settings at schools and play groups。 。。。more

Beautiful story of a little Tiger who is very sad about ordinary life troubles until he meets Turtle who asks him the questions related to The Work， Byron Katie's brilliant self-inquiry method。 For more on The Work， definitely read Loving What Is - My personal review of that book is here on Goodreads。Disclaimer: I received a signed copy of the book from the author， Hans Wilhelm。I don't have any kids but I have read children's books and I think this one has a strong message。 It may be too hard fo Beautiful story of a little Tiger who is very sad about ordinary life troubles until he meets Turtle who asks him the questions related to The Work， Byron Katie's brilliant self-inquiry method。 For more on The Work， definitely read Loving What Is - My personal review of that book is here on Goodreads。Disclaimer: I received a signed copy of the book from the author， Hans Wilhelm。I don't have any kids but I have read children's books and I think this one has a strong message。 It may be too hard for small kids but I think if read slowly and several times - this is not a book that you read once - the message needs to be repeated and then applied to a child's personal life situation - then it can be invaluable。 Love the artwork and I know kids would enjoy it even more， especially since it's the world of little/big animals。 Well-done Byron Katie and Hans Wilhelm。 A true 5-star rating！ 。。。more

I wish， someone had read this book to me when I was little。 It´s great for kids and grown-ups， and helps a lot in viewing life differently。
