Here's the review that led me to read it, by Kelly Robson, https://kellyrobson.com/my-favorite-n...

I enjoyed the supplementary information - for me it was all relevant enough, and interesting enough. It contained loads of interesting information specific to tigers, but was a also a little broader, bringing in similarities and differences between tigers and other animals - wolves, the Amur leopard, brown bears. There was a lot of specialist research on Amur tigers explained. There was also a lot about the people involved - very detailed biographies of, in some cases, their entire lives. This included the victims of the tiger, their families, other relevant people living in the same towns and the tiger hunting team members. This all added to the greater context, but was perhaps the one aspect that was taken a but far for me. Having said all that, I know other readers found there was too little of the story and too much of the context. Tigger has been a childhood staple since he first appeared in the Winnie the Pooh stories in the late 1920s. I have vivid memories of my Dad singing “the wonderful thing about Tiggers” to me when I was small, and as a result Tigger and my Dad have become forever linked.Like the beast this book is about, The Tiger is patient. It stalks ahead with care and diligence as it learns about its prey, and each step forward the tension builds until the target is reached and then it pounces with devastating fury. Logue’s story is like a literary form of a warm and cozy blanket. It is warm and comforting, with a seamless blend of simple language and poetic imagery. However, a few customers felt that the story was not active enough to keep their attention. One day Tom paints a tiger, inspired by his visit to the art gallery. That night, when Tom can’t sleep, the tiger pads out of his painting and purrs, “Let’s go for a walk!” And so begins a magical and life-changing venture, as the tiger helps Tom overcome some of his biggest fears. The author/illustrator won the 2017 Waterstones Children’s Book Prize for Illustrated Books category.

Unfortunately we have previously failed to carry out your scheduled BOOK A TIGER cleanings, and have had to cancel on several occasions. We must inform you that we will no longer be able to provide a cleaner for your future BOOK A TIGER appointments. The pivotal question in this story is whether the Amur tiger has the capacity for vengeance. A history of stories from naturalists and hunters as well as current inhabitants has been gathered supporting such a claim A convincing theoretical framework for such a notion is advanced with Jakob von Uexkuell's concept of the Umwelt. Finally, the events leading up to the death of Markov and their astonishing aftermath are reconstructed. It is a story of a tiger transformed by his vengeful encounter with Markov. This is the story arc of the book and the sense of psychological tension and drama are sufficient to hold the reader's interest from beginning to end. House cats wish they were as big as tigers. (At least my cats do, or seem to, when there are three dogs, not just the one dog, in the house). Augustus and His Smile was a 2006 Booktrust Early Years Award winner and a nominee for the Kate Greenaway Award. Pros and Cons of Augustus and His Smile by Catherine Rayner ProsNothing feels padded here. John Vaillant has researched and done his leg work to bring not just a chilling tale of an animal gone wild, but also that tale in complete context of its existence. Everything is pieced together. Nothing is extraneous. Although it was published in 1894, Rudyard Kipling’s book remains appealing to a lot of people, and it’s easy to see why. The author combines delightful storytelling, myth, adventure, and morals to produce one of the classical children’s books. I won't share the outline of the story - other reviewers have done this, but I would recommend letting the book roll the story out for you, the suspense as it is teased out makes it all worthwhile. Whatever it was made the tiger change direction, and he stalked this new information with a single-minded intensity that would have been chilling to behold. In the course of this account, Mr. Vaillant colors the local characters and the poverty in the Primorski province of the Russian Far East, and makes one contemplate who is more danger to man (Panthera tigris altaica or Hominis corrupti regimen).

Little Tiger has to take his little sister with him when he goes to play with his friends. “Wait for me, Little Tiger,” she cries, but Little Tiger soon finds that his sister is much too young to join in their rough jungle games. When Little Tiger wants to play in the river with Little Elephant, he leaves his sister behind! What happens next?The man-eater in question did not stop at one. Investigators could see that there was purpose to this cat. Tigers do not normally prey on people. But this one went out of his way to hunt down his first victim. It is no wonder that locals consider some tigers to be more than merely human. Some are thought to be imbued with a supernatural aspect, making these already pretty scary critters even more terrifying. Vaillant tells of the investigation and its conclusions. Along the way he offers a picture of this remotest part of Russia, and many of the very colorful characters who have called it home, past and present. The area appears to have more in common with the American wild west than with a vid-phone-chatting 21st century. Se há livros que nos fazem aterrar em locais longínquos, daqueles que transcendem a mais profusa das imaginações, O Tigre é um deles.
