This is the story of two hunters -- one a jaguar, descendant from a long line of primal beasts; the other, a man worried about what the jaguar might do to his herd.

The fact that this book has two perspectives, and the concept of the stalker becoming the stalked, makes it inappropriate for the youngest picture book readers. However, it is a beautifully written, colorfully illustrated with an interesting and important concept, one that is not usually seen in picture books. For anyone looking for a grittier look at the "circle of life" or how to make difficult choices, this book is a good option.

When a boy joins his father in the amazon to start a jaguar preserve, he finds many more dangers than he expected. very good descriptions, and interesting plot. recomnded to niddle and late elementry schoolers, even older.
