A Tiger's Tale




There once was a happy tiger
Who lived on the isle of Sumatra
With large green forests in which to roam
Many tiger families called it home



But people came; some broke the law
They cut many trees with a mighty saw
Men slashed and burned forests of the land
Destroying much more than originally planned
The orangutans fled; elephants; tigers too
After all was said, what could they do?



The Indonesian island of Sumatra is the only place where tigers, rhinos, orangutans and elephants live together. They are all endangered. However, the Sumatran rhino and Sumatran tiger are critically endangered. 


There are less than 300 Sumatran rhinos and less than 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.


Learn about the critically endangered Sumatran Tiger, the threats he faces, and the ways we can help him to survive in this beautifully illustrated rhyming story for ages 4+.
