What an adorable story and book! I loved this non-fiction storybook! The authors write in third person about the amazing work they do to help wild animals. The pictures in this book are photographs, so you can see some of the cutest photographs of tiger cubs playing, eating, and napping. They live in Kansas and own and operate Safari Zoological Park. In July of 2008, three white tiger cubs were born in captivity. Their mother rejected them and so the Harveys had to find a way to feed these precious kitties. Their golden retriever Isabella had had puppies earlier and was still nursing, so she was the perfect candidate. Isabella and the tiger cubs quickly took to each other. The Harvey Family took turns helping to care for the tiger cubs and puppies.
As they grew older, the cubs were no longer able to stay in the family home and moved to an outside enclosure. From all of the animal shows I've watched I know it isn't safe or normal to have wild animals as pets, but baby animals are so cute! I can't imagine living and working alongside some of these huge cats with paws the size of a dinner plate! Wow! Great example of people doing what they love for a living. I felt like a kid myself as I read and looked at the pictures.
