This book is about
The book is about Tiger who is learning to write like a journalist. He learns about Willard Wigan who makes very small sculptures. When Willard Wigan was little, he made a house for some ants. He works at night at home making the sculptures because it is quieter. The sculptures he makes look beautiful and amazing!

The main characters are
Tiger and Willard Wigan.

My favourite part of the book is
Finding out what people think about Willard Wigan's work.

I would also like to say
You can see some of Willard Wigan's work on his website, which is at: www.willard-wigan.com. My favourite Willard Wigan sculpture was the tango dancers on the gallery on his website.
