A Tiger Grows Up is a book about a Bengal tiger cub that follows her as she grows up. On the introduction page it introduces the Bengal tiger and states that it lives in India. In the back of the book it has a map that you can show the children of where India is.
The text is great for a lesson on mammals. Throughout the book there are little captions with facts about the tigers. I think that the book could be linked to children's prior knowledge of family. There are pages in the book that can be linked because they are mammal traits and humans are mammals. It could help the children make that connection as well.
The art work of the book is also very stunning. It looks like a painting and the colors of the Bengal tigers are vibrant like they are in real life. The book also comes full-circle with the cub growing up and eventually having her own family that is linked to how the book starts.
