They Don't Make Children's Books Like this Anymore

Poor James, he has three older sisters who bully him all the time. He's always it when the play tag. They dress him like a baby. He has to do everything they tell him, because he's the smallest. Then one day his Uncle Albert sent him a Jaguar suit. With the suit on, James gains the confidence to stand up to his sisters and at the end of the story he doesen't need the suit anymore. This is a lovely story with a nice moral and excellent illustrations by Cyndy Szekerres. They don't make children's books like this anymore.

James the jaguar

An exceptional story of the attitude change in a little boy brought on by wearing a jaguar suit. His big sisters can no longer boss him around because of his new found strength. A good lesson in courage.
