When Malar wins a weekend at an animal reserve, she really wants to see a tiger—but the bigger challenge might be adjusting to being away from home and getting along with the other campers!
Written By Suma Subramaniam, Illustrated by Archana Sreenivasan
Reviews:
With details of Indian culture throughout, this series feels fresh and authentic in a way that will excite young readers, who will also learn a lot about the land that V. Malar and her fellow campers hike around. Extensive back matter expands on this and includes a glossary, author’s note about the location of the story, information about the plants and animals featured, and a source list. Sreenivasan’s expressive illustrations throughout the story bring readers directly into the action. Recommended for most collections, particularly those looking to diversify their offerings.
