A good book and a story that needs to be told
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As with most DK Readers for kids, this is a good, balanced introduction to a significant topic. It looks at the challenges Big Cats face, primarily from the destruction of their environment. My eight year old liked reading it, and came away feeling that both nature and human beings pose a threat. I felt the message was presented fairly. On the "pro-human" side, it shows that people have had to kill hungry cats who attack them or their livestock. On the "pro-animal" side, it criticizes poachers who murder (a fair word, in my opinion) a mother cat in order to seize and sell her cubs illegally. DK Readers have a well deserved reputation for prosenting kids with significant topics in non-fiction. Tiger Tales and Big Cat Stories doesn't disappoint.
Informative and entertaining

My 8-year-old son and I both enjoyed this book. "Tiger Tales" presents a lot of information in text, drawings, photographs, and a map. And I learned something new, too. Do you and your children know why tigers, cheetahs, jaguars, and leopards have stripes or spots but lions and pumas do not? Well, if you don't know, this book is a good source for the answer!
