The Tiger Child Drama Unit (4-7 years)

This lively and funny folk tale from Orissa, India, explains why tigers eat their food uncooked and why cats live with people. The Tiger Child is sent to fetch some more fire from the village, but on the way he gets distracted by his friends. By the time he gets to the village, he has forgotten what he has been sent to fetch.

Joanna Troughton's beautifully-illustrated book is available from Amazon.
