When little Poppy visited the zoo, she met Tulsi, the last tiger in the world, and embarked on an unforgettable adventure. Are you going to eat me? asked Poppy, who had noticed a large sign saying, 'Beware of the tiger'. Certainly not, replied the old tiger. And, besides, I've lost my teeth, he smiled. Can you help me find them? Thus began a magical journey deep within the enchanted forests of India.
Saba Douglas-Hamilton, Samburu National Reserve, Kenya: Dr Chet Trivedy, has dedicated his life to improving the health of his patients. Having also turned his hand to tiger conservation, he now blends his background in medicine with his love for wildlife in this charming tale to bring some of India's less-known creatures, like the dhole and gaur, into the spotlight. Through the eyes of an elderly tiger that befriends a young girl, the reader departs on a quest to encounter some of the charismatic creatures that live in the jungles of India. Gently woven into the tales of each of these lovable characters are important lessons about the health challenges children face all over the world today, from which we can all learn.
About The Author Dr Chet Trivedy was kidnapped by baboons as a baby and, when he was just four, he ran away from the family home to search for cheetahs. After nearly 30 years' experience in healthcare, dentistry, academia, emergency medicine and working as a cancer specialist, he suffered a stroke - and sought solace in the company of tigers at the local zoo while he was recovering. He was clearly destined for a career involving health and wildlife.
