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.'

Recenzii

Brilliant, inspirational and pulls no punches, telling one of the really big conservation stories, The Tigers' Tale is superbly illustrated and wonderfully told.
The majesty of the tiger has transcended generations and continents, inspiring people from all walks of life to protect, venerate and celebrate the big cat. This beautifully illustrated book will captivate a new generation and impart important lessons learned from the tragic local extinction of the tigers of Panna Tiger Reserve in India. While interventions since mean that tigers once again stalk the emerald forests. Catherine Barr's book reminds us all that the threat of tiger trade still lingers and there is no room for complacency.
Tigers today need all the help they can get. In The Tiger's Tale, the perils of habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade loom large, but Catherine Barr's charming story and Tara Anand's gorgeous illustrations turn the emerald forest into a place of magic and hope, where the big cats leap off every page and the future is as bright as their burning eyes.
An extraordinary and hard-hitting story of a species on the brink, which finishes with a message of hope that will galvanise you into action.
