What I liked:
The Orphaned Tiger tells the tale of a brave young child who finds out about a tiger cub wandering a city on the news. She falls asleep and ends up in Russia trying to help a baby cub tiger that mama has been killed, more than likely by poachers. Anna is a character with a lot of heart that will encourage young children that their voices can make a difference even though they are small. If Anna had failed to keep trying to tell the adults about the tiger cub, it probably would have survived. At the end of the book, the author includes information about the real Tigers that the story is based on and information on how you can help.
Final Verdict:
Taking a news story and using a chapter book about endangered animals and the bravery it can take to save them made for a captivating chapter book.
