Takes readers on a journey to a wildlife preserve in India to observe the life cycle, behavior, and habitat of the tiger and other creatures of the jungle
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Grade 2-6-- Now this is the way to hunt tigers. Lewin takes readers to Khana National Park in Central India and Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, where tigers and other wild animals native to India are protected. Visitors to the parks ride on elephant back high above the ground, safe from the attentions of the beautiful creatures they have come to observe--at a respectful distance. This gorgeous, simply written picture story brings the tigress vividly to life, as she vanishes into the concealing grasses to hunt the prey that will feed her cubs hidden deep in the undergrowth. This is truly Mowgli's world of The Jungle Books, even to the ruined palace, once the home of a maharajah, where now only the jungle creatures reign. Splendid watercolors lift this eye-catching book far above the ordinary. Ecology-conscious young people who hope to share their future with endangered species will profit by this unsentimental nature study, with its message of live and let live: admire, but do not destroy. --Joan McGrath, Education Centre Library, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
