A Tiger's Tale

by Wayne Gerard Trotman

Overview

There once was a happy tiger

Who lived on the isle of Sumatra

With large green forests in which to roam

Many tiger families called it home



But people came; some broke the law

They cut many trees with a mighty saw

Men slashed and burned forests of the land

Destroying much more than originally planned

The orangutans fled; elephants; tigers too

After all was said, what could they do?

Learn about the endangered Sumatran Tiger, the threats he faces, and the ways we can help him to survive in this beautifully illustrated rhyming story for ages 4+.

A Tiger's Tale was a silver medal winner in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2019.

A happy tiger lived on the island of Sumatra where there were large green forests to roam and it was home to many tigers. But people came there and cut down the trees, broke the law, and burned the forests of the land. The destruction caused the animals to flee and the men struggled and toiled to farm rubber, tea, and palm oil. They grew coffee and built houses and the tiger had nowhere to go. He wanted to go back to the forest he once knew. The children came together from every town to save the animals and they knew the animals' future depended on them. They decided to give the animals lots of space with many trees. The adults also followed the children's plans and the animals returned to the forest in large numbers. The tiger took himself a beautiful wife and settled down happily.
