From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-An appealing look at a popular wild animal. Using an old-fashioned but effective narrative mode, Radcliffe creates a portrait of the world of a tiger cub of the Indian forest. The aim is not to provide encyclopedic information about tigers-there are no maps of the animal's range, no discussions of subspecies, no detailed overview of the tiger's place on the food chain-but to create an understanding of a day in the life of a particular cub and her family. Because the book follows Maya's family from dawn to dusk, there are no scenes that depict the mother's nocturnal hunting prowess. However, a lurking hyena brings an element of danger to Maya and her brother's life. While some may raise objection to giving names to wild animals, one cannot deny the appeal to young children, who will love poring over the striking double-page paintings. The thrust of this title is atmospheric, not academic, and, as such, it makes a solid addition to library collections.
