Little Tigers
by Jo Weaver (Author) Jo Weaver (Illustrator)
A mother tiger and her two cubs escape hunters in their search for a safe, new home in the jungle. From award-winning author-illustrator Jo Weaver.
★ " Perfectly paced, accessible, and appealing, this glimpse into a far-off habitat will entertain young listeners and, perhaps, awaken their empathy." --Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
As hunters approach their home in the jungle, Mother Tiger and her cubs, Puli and Sera, must venture to find a new home away from danger. Together, they explore different homes, but the ones they find aren't suited for tigers. Some are too wet, some are too dry, and some are just downright unwelcoming. But with their mother's help, they may be able to find one that's just right.
With gentle text and stunning monochromatic illustrations, Jo Weaver reveals the wonder of nature and habitats, the excitement of discovery, and the strength of familial bonds. Ideal for storytime or bedtime, the book is also a wonderful complement to early childhood and elementary nature, animal, and habitat studies.

PreS-Gr 1--After hearing men and dogs in the jungle, Mother Tiger and her two cubs, Puli and Sera, set out to find a safe, new home. After trying out several potential spots, they begin to despair. "Wait here little ones," said Mother Tiger. She gives them a loving nuzzle and disappears into the shadows." At last, the female tiger finds a remote, secluded home for her family. The stars of this book are the gorgeous, digitally colored charcoal illustrations of Bengal tigers that look real. It's easy for readers to imagine themselves on this journey to find a new den. For example, when roaming the deepest parts of the jungle, there is a spread of giant trees and below in the river, Mother Tiger and her cubs are swimming to shore. Young readers learn about tigers and their habitat in a way that will be interesting to most children. This title can be used in a variety of ways from a storytime with a group to an individual bedtime story. The back of the title has more information about endangered Bengal tigers. VERDICT This engaging tale may inspire young children to want to learn more about these beautiful creatures and where they live.--Robin Sofge, Prince William Public Library System, VA
