- Moving smoothly as a river, her stripy coat bright as fire, mother tiger runs then vanishes in the tall grass. With plate-sized paws and a pink nose the size of your fist, she hunts and swims, cares for her cubs and teaches them all her tiger tricks. Previously part of the acclaimed Read and Wonder series, Tigress has been re-launched in the new Nature Storybooks series with a brand new look and accompanying CD read by Stephen Tompkinson, with story reading, song, extra facts and a read-along version.
