Tigers FROM THE PUBLISHER
"National Geographic's" breathtaking photos take children to the jungle and let them look on as graceful Bengal tigers wrestle with each other in play, camouflage themselves among the tall grass, and teach their cubs how to hunt. Full color.
FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot
Did you know that there are 38 kinds of cats and that tigers are the biggest? Tigers cooling off in the water, caring for young cubs, playing, running and stalking through the grass will find a receptive audience with toddlers and adults. Seeing the tiger in the tall grasses provides a wonderful opportunity to discuss protective coloring. The photographs are fabulous and one would expect nothing less of National Geographic. Part of the "Animal Safari" series.
School Library Journal
PreS Minimal information accompanies crisp, full-color photos in these sturdy board books. The titles make good use of the National Geographic Society's extensive photo files to present attractive peepholes into the habits of these creatures. A sea otter uses its "tummy" for a "tidy table" and a tiger cub "too tiny to walk far gets a lift in mom's gentle jaws." The back covers provide an additional factoid or two to proffer to the more curious toddler. All in all, pleasant additions.
