Fast, Strong, and Striped

Each title in this delightful and informative series of young naturalist books looks at a different animal and invites youngsters to guess what it is. Opening with a three-word description and followed by a series of colorful drawings depicting a different part of the animal's body, each book gradually reveals the whole animal to the child reader. Accompanying text and additional illustrations provide further clues to the animal's identity and give an insight into how it lives. The books conclude with an illustration of the animal's young, a map of the world showing its homelands, a fun quiz, and a glossary.

Mysterious artwork achieves its goal of introducing the tiger one element at a time to the reader. How and what the tiger hunts, its physical traits, grooming habits, noises, babies, and environment are all mentioned throughout the text. A world map shows children where the Bengal tiger thrives.
