Written in a warm, narrative voice, If You Were a Tiger Cub unfolds as a gentle, episodic journey through the jungle. Each spread introduces a new forest neighbor—from a stealthy leopard waiting in the shadows to a hornbill nestled high in a fig tree, from a mighty elephant behind a bamboo thicket to the sudden alarm call of a sambar deer.

The hardback edition’s lush illustrations bring India's flora and fauna to life, inviting readers to pause, study the details, and let their imaginations roam.
Whether you read for the wonder of the world or for gentle lessons about nature, If You Were a Tiger Cub rewards careful observation and empathy for living beings. The experience blends storytelling with nature-inspired knowledge, introducing key concepts such as camouflage, ecosystems, and the interdependence of creatures—delivered in a friendly, non‑preachy way that sparks questions and discussion.
After finishing If You Were a Tiger Cub, readers carry a sense of wonder for the natural world and a desire to explore with careful, curious eyes. It leaves them feeling inspired, more confident in asking questions, and eager to learn more about India's vibrant jungles and their extraordinary inhabitants.
