Grandfather's Tiger Tales - Paperback

by Anjana Basu (Author), Aaryama Somayaji (Illustrator)

Description

Dadubhai loves to tell stories about tigers and forests. After all, he has roamed

around the forests of India for years. In Grandfather's Tiger Tales, he relates some

hair-raising stories about tigers-both real ones and those from myths and

legends.

In one, a tiger decides to drop in as a guest during a cricket match, sending

both the cricketers and the audience into panic. In another story, while

a fearsome storm rages in the Sundarbans, a man and a tiger take refuge

together in a little hut. He also narrates the legend of Bon Bibi, the saviour of

the people of the Sundarbans and her battle with the fearsome tiger-adversary,

Dakshin Ray.

Riveting and entertaining, these tales bring alive the tiger's majesty and

beauty, while also showing young readers the importance of learning to

respect animals in the wild.
