Early one morning, while his mother is still out hunting, Tikka the tiger cub ventures out of their den. Spying the brilliant and exotic animals that share his rainforest home -- a peacock, monkeys, frogs and lizards, jungle fowl, a porcupine -- he unsuccessfully stalks his would-be prey, not realizing that danger lurks above. Children and parents will relish the simple read-aloud story. The rainforest wildlife facts included at the back of the book provide an educational twist. An embossed hardcover with lavish illustrations, Tale of a Tiger makes an ideal gift.
