Synopses & Reviews
When two baby white tigers on an animal preserve get into trouble during a storm, they are taken in by a human animal worker named China and her helper, a chimpanzee named Anjana. China and Anjana soon become the tigers mothers, playing and cuddling with the cubs as they grow big and strong.
Set on a preserve for endangered animals, The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (T.I.G.E.R.S.), Anjanas amazing true story showcases her surprising love for two adorable tiger cubs.
Review
"Following the same clean photo-album layout as Suryia & Roscoe (2011) (Suryia makes an appearance with Mitra and Shiva too), with simple sentence structure, this is engaging nonfiction for the youngest set. An authors note explains how the animal-preserve setting fostered this relationship." -- Kirkus Reviews
