Lord of the Forest (Jackie Morris and Caroline Pitcher)

Lord of the Forest
Jackie Morris and Caroline Pitcher
Frances Lincoln Books
Fiction, YA Picture Book
****+ (Good/Great)


DESCRIPTION: In the jungles of India, a tiger grows from blind cub to proud hunter. Yet always the words of his mother puzzle him - she told him to listen for the silence, for then he shall know that the Lord of the Forest is near. Who is the Lord of the Forest... and what will happen should the tiger ever meet him?

REVIEW: We had another lull at work; this one was at the top of one of the bins. Morris's beautiful watercolor illustrations augment a poetic tale by Caroline Pitcher. A great little read for tiger lovers of all ages.
