Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 3—Using her stealth and hunting skills, Tigress finds a new and safer den for her two tiger cubs in this book (Candlewick, 2007) by Nick Dowson. They are always on the hunt to survive, and after 18 months as a family unit, each tiger goes off to live a solitary existence. Jane Chapman's realistic paintings are vivid and fluid. The compelling, captivating text is read by Alan Marriott with background music and sound effects adding to the enjoyment; page turn signals are available on a read-along track, but there are no sound effects. The shorter second track focuses on interesting facts about tigers. This package will be a good addition to school and public libraries to introduce informational writing, and would be a fine choice for research papers.—Mercedes Smith, Kernan Trail Elementary School, Jacksonville, FL
