Jeffrey Fluffy McSnuggle-Tum roams his apartment as if he is a tiger and can do anything. Readers will enjoy his expansive jungle adventure through vines, trees, puddles, and encounters with a butterfly, snake, and other creatures—at least until a seemingly friendly tiger appears. Then Jeff suddenly declares himself a cat and goes back to his apartment setting. Gouache and collage digital illustrations aptly depict the great jungle adventure, while observant readers will realize where Jeff was the whole time. It is fun to see a young house cat acting like a big, ferocious tiger.
