"The Last Tiger" by Petr Horacek (Otter-Barry Books)
Once proud, but now an animal whose days seem numbered.In "The Last Tiger" by Petr Horacek, Tiger is strong and mighty.
Everyone knows that Tiger is lord of the jungle, but all his strength and boldness cannot keep him safe from the human hunters.
Poor Tiger is captured, his fate unknown.
In captivity, the tiger realises that what really matters is not strength or power, but freedom.
Moving, thought-provoking and superbly illustrated, this book doesn't hold back with its clear message that we are responsible for the welfare of animal species across the globe, and as tiger numbers are dwindling in the wild, it's up to us to ramp up our conservation efforts to ensure this magnificent beast doesn't disappear entirely.
Sum this book up in a sentence: Fabulous stuff as ever from Petr, an immense talent in kidlit.
"The Last Tiger" by Petr Horacek is out now, published by Otter-Barry Books (kindly supplied for review).
