this book is perfect for budding little animal loves. Despite being only around 28 pages long the book manages to pack a lot of information in without feeling overwhelming for small readers. The book explains the different species of Tigers, their habitat, and why they are important to the world (beyond just being awesome looking). The book explains so of the dangers tigers face like illegal hunting and habitat loss. The book also gives examples of some things young readers can do to help. Over all a great introduction to animal conservation.

Me and my children enjoyed this story with all of the things about tigers. This story had information about tiger. From the species name to what tiger eat to if they were endangered. And there was more.

This was fun to read or listen to. It had a lot of information about tigers. The illustrations followed the words well and were colorful.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

I love this new series that includes all types of connected science facts that relate to Tigers instead of just a regular "all about Tigers" book.

I like the baby tigers, and they are so cute!

I like the page with all the supplies you might need when you’re looking for tigers, like a camera trap or a scat collection kit.
