Frequently asked questions

What age is the tiger book recommended for?

It's great for children ages 3 to 7. The splendid stripes of the "king of the forest" capture children's attention.

What kind of animal is a tiger?

It's the largest member of the cat family, living in the forests of Asia. Its black and orange stripes are all different, and unlike lions, it hunts alone.

What words can my child learn?

Your child will meet animal and sound words like tiger, stripes, claws, tail, forest, hunt, and roar.

Why does a tiger have stripes?

They're natural camouflage that hides the tiger among the light and shadows of the forest. Thanks to the stripes, prey can hardly spot the tiger. And like human fingerprints, every tiger's pattern is different.

Are there any scary scenes?

There is a hunting scene, but it's drawn gently, so children ages 4 and up can enjoy it without worry.

What activities are good to do after reading the book?

Good activities include coloring stripes, imitating the "roar," drawing a comparison with a lion, and meeting tigers from The Jungle Book and other fairy tales.

Can we read it in English too?

Yes, the English version, Tiger, is included.

Are there other books like this one?

The big-cat series with titles like Lion, Cheetah, and Leopard is loved alongside this one.
