Book Description

5 and upK and up

This is the true story of Nasira, Anjika, and Sidani, three white Bengal tiger cubs whose mother stopped nursing them only fifteen hours after their birth. Luckily, two zookeepers, Tom and Allie Harvey, were keeping a close eye on them.

The Harveys paired the hungry cubs with their golden retriever, Isabella—who was still nursing her own puppy—to see if Isabella would feed and care for the baby tigers. The match was a success: Isabella immediately adopted the cubs as if they were her very own . . . Tiger Pups! This sensational story swept the country, and Isabella and the tiger pups have become the darlings of the media.

Captured in adorable, intimate, and exclusive images by Tom Harvey and National Geographic photographer Keith Philpott, here is the fascinating story of the cubs and how they make the transition from living in the house with the Harveys to their new den outdoors. At two months, the cubs are active, curious, and playful. They get into everything! Share in this remarkable and heartwarming story that marks a truce in the age-old battle between cats and dogs.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2—The authors, who own Safari Zoological Park in Kansas, present a personal look at raising three baby white tigers, taking them into their home after the cubs were abandoned by their mother. The book ends with the 11-week-old cubs moving outdoors. The sharp, full-color photos and straightforward text represent a memoir of the daily life of these animals and the Harveys' family dogs, one of whom nurses the cubs and treats them like her pups. The style is clear but short and lacks originality, and the oversimplification of the care and needs of wild animals can be misleading to young readers. There is not much depth to this picture book, but young animal lovers should enjoy the story.—Valerie Scott-Dixon, Sherwood Forest Media Center, Norfolk, VA

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, September 11, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tiger Pups (Hardcover)
Pictures are out of this world. They capture the love and affection this golden girl has for her adopted babies. Always a mother, never to care if they are hers or not. I am a golden lover and this book will be passed around in the family. It is now my coffee table book for everyone to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will make you happy. Guaranteed., July 24, 2009
This review is from: Tiger Pups (Hardcover)
If some fiendishly clever person set out to create a book I would be absolutely compelled to buy, this would be it. As soon as I saw it I was powerless to resist. It's a concentrated dose of the most insanely happy-making cuteness I have ever seen [...]Pages of utterly adorable pictures of baby tigers being raised by golden retrievers. What more could you want? Try not to love the tigers' googly blue eyes, stubby tails, and huge floppy paws--I dare you. Try to resist how they gnaw on chew toys or attack an unsuspecting roll of toilet paper. The most hardened criminal would melt into a pile of goo before the unstoppable Power of Cute contained in this little book.

There's a little bit of text, but the pictures say it all. Tiger Pups: better than Prozac. Read it and be happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tiger Pups, February 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tiger Pups (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful story, with great photos. If you have a child who might be inclined to a career in veterinary science or zoology, this is a great first book. It reminds me of the "Awsome Pawsome" stories of a litter of tiger cubs raised in captivity. It is a simple book with good photos that anyone of any age can enjoy. I am giving it to my local library for them to share with the children of Lillian. I hope just one or two children will want to experience raising little tigers (in a zoo- not at home) , and that bigger children (adults) might feel an affinity for tiger cubs (or golden retrievers, as that was the nursing mother for the cubs) and then become proactive in protecting the Tiger's natural habitat, visit your local Zoo, adopt a Golden Retriever, and give your local library a good book. Give your children dreams. This is a wonderful start if they love animals.
