About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a deep fascination with wildlife or starts asking what it would be like to have a truly exotic pet. It is a perfect choice for children who are beginning to understand the weight of responsibility that comes with caring for another living being. By following the real-life journey of Tara, a tiger cub, children see the dedication required to raise a wild animal in a sanctuary setting. The book explores themes of trust, professional care, and the natural developmental milestones of a predator. While the photography and narrative are gentle and informative, it provides a realistic look at the science of animal husbandry. It is ideal for the 7 to 10 age range, offering a bridge between simple picture books and more complex zoological studies. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's wonder while grounding it in the reality of hard work and respect for nature.
