Read the full description
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.
'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.' - Debbie Banks, Tiger and Wildlife Crime Campaign Leader, Environmental Investigation Agency
'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.' - Mike Unwin, Non-Fiction Author behind Migration: Incredible Animal Journeys, Photographer and Illustrator
