As part of the series, Asian Animals,Tigers gives a brief synopsis of how the continent was formed, the many languages contained therein, countries, culture, and people.  There is a map of where the tigers actually live in Asia and how their habitat is shrinking due to change.  The author mentions that there used to be nine different types of tigers, but that only six remain.  I wish she would have listed and compared the nine types or at least the remaining six types, accompanied with a photo of each type.  Why mention it at all if you don’t plan on showing them more?  The photographs of tigers are beautiful and clear.  The rest of the information is pretty common.
