Synopsis

From the author of the beautiful Fourteen Wolves comes another incredible true story of rewilding. Perfect for children aged 7+.

Magnificent, powerful and mysterious, the tiger is one of the world's most iconic animals. It is also one of most endangered. For hundreds of years, these exceptional beasts have been hunted, pushing them to the brink of extinction. How can we save them?

This compelling tale tells the turbulent true story of the tragic disappearance of tigers from Panna Tiger Reserve in India and, finally, their heroic return. We follow a group of tigers, each with their own individual traits, on their adventures. Together, we learn how the tiger experts introduce tigers to the reserve and track them as they explore, hunt, play, swim, mate and make the forest their home. However, all is not as it seems - and there is danger lurking in the shadows of the emerald forest.

With evocative storytelling combined with clear non-fiction information by eco-expert Catherine Barr and lush illustrations by Tara Anand, this story illuminates exactly why tiger conservation is so important.'Catherine Barr's book reminds us all that the threat of tiger trade still lingers and there is no room for complacency.'

I had never heard of the Panna Reserve in India before reading The Tiger's Tale. It tells us about the tigers who live and are protected (mostly) by the rangers. Sadly, poaches are still killing tigers but the message of protecting the tigers comes roaring through the text loudly and clearly. We really need to get ourselves sorted out as human beings. I'd recommend this book for animal lovers with a little warning about the sad parts! A really interesting read. Reviewed by A aged 10
