The wonders of the forest beckon to an adventurous tiger cub. As she ventures deep into the wilderness, you’ll meet fascinating inhabitants of the jungle, from a stealthy leopard to a hornbill nestled high up in a fig tree. Look closely, and you may spot a mighty elephant behind a bamboo thicket. Hear the alarm call of a sambar deer? If you don’t keep still, it may race far, far away! Hanging upside down from the roof of a cave is a cauldron of bats, and soon arrives a ferocious shaggy creature, waving its sharp claws. Under the rustling leaves on the forest floor, tucked away in the alcoves of a termite castle, and amidst the great roots of a banyan tree, astonishing mysteries of the jungle await discovery.The creation of a masterful storyteller whose knowledge of India’s flora and fauna is unparalleled, If You Were a Tiger Cub shows curious young readers the magnificent beauty of the natural world through the eyes of one of its most majestic creatures.
