Tiger at the door

Lisa Regan - Author

This book uses an imaginative household situation to make animal facts approachable. It moves from wondering how a tiger might be cared for towards understanding its real habitat, survival needs and place in the wild.

More about this book

What would happen if an tiger came to stay? How would you look after it? Where would it sleep? What would it eat (baked beans, raw fish or cream cakes?) and how would you play with it? Wild Things! gives young readers a first introduction to exotic animals around the world, looking at how and where they really live and what they need to survive, as it becomes clear that they must be posted back! Each book also includes a final fact spread to explain why each animal is suited to living in its own environment in the wild, as well as how we can help to keep it there.

Grounded book brief

What the book clearly raises

Wild animals and human homes

The book imagines a tiger staying with people, then explains where animals really live and what they need to survive.

Conservation and responsibility

A final fact spread explains why each animal suits its own environment and how people can help keep it there.

Worth knowing before you decide

Notice how the book handles the tiger's imagined visit and eventual return. Ask whether the playful scenario makes the animal's needs clearer, or risks making wild-animal care seem like ordinary pet care.

Confidence & Basis

This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
