Tiger's Story
Harriet Blackford
Hardcover
(Frances Lincoln, Aug. 16, 2007)
Tiger is a small, strong, and stripy cub. He lives with his mother and sisters in a forest in India. Through this gentle and lovingly illustrated picture book, children can enter a young tiger’s world and watch him grow. As a little cub, he plays happily with his sisters, tumbling and pouncing in the grass, and recognizes every sight, sound, and smell of his jungle home. Gradually, he learns how to hunt for himself, and begins to explore the nearby hills, streams, and paths for days at a time. Eventually, he’s ready to leave his family and find his own place in the forest. Rich, dramatic illustrations and an introduction filled with tiger facts teach children about this rapidly disappearing species.
