This lively folk tale from Orissa, India, explains why tigers eat their food uncooked and why cats live with people.

The tiger child is sent to fetch some more fire from the village, but on the way he gets distracted by his friends. By the time he gets to the village, he has forgotten what he has been sent to fetch.

5.0 out of 5 stars a lovely tale very well told, 15 Oct 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tiger Child: A Folk Tale from India (Puffin Folk Tales of the World) (Paperback)
This book is delightfully illustrated and lovingly told. it can be read as scary or as soothing as you choose. The beautiful illustrations show life in an Indian village, without any direct reference in the text. There is so much more to talk about than the story.

I've come to Amazon to find out what other books there are in the series, because me and my two little girls (aged 2 and 4) want to read more and more of these and learn how different cultures view things that are common and everyday.

Buy this book.

sal (york, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tiger Child: A Folk Tale from India (Puffin Folk Tales of the World) (Paperback)
as a student teacher i'm constantly looking for new stories and poems - i was delighted to come across this book and took great pleasure in reading it to my class. The children range from 4 to 7 but all loved the story. My animal mad year 2's thought it was brillant whilst the very youngest put it down to magic!! i would recommend this book to anyone with children of any age or those who are still young at heart!!

This review is from: The Tiger Child: A Folk Tale from India (Puffin Folk Tales of the World) (Paperback)
I bought this lovely text for use as part of our keystage 2 India topic. The text is quite simple and I use it as starter for some artwork and poetry for the whole class.
