«Le tapis en peau de tigre» is the illustrated children's picture book by Gerald Rose, published by Albin Michel Jeunesse in hardcover (32 pages, in French).
A thin, shabby tiger watches a servant of the rajah beat rugs in the palace gardens and decides to imitate one in order to live surrounded by luxury. The deception becomes complicated when he gains weight from the royal family's leftover food, but one night three thieves try to enter the palace and the tiger finds the chance to prove his true worth.
Work originally published in English as «The Tiger-Skin Rug» in 1979; this French edition is from 2011.
