This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countesthorpe’s Active Arts group decided to arrange a concert by the local Helix Ensemble, as part of our Heritage Lottery Funded programme marking the centenary of WWI. At the accompanying exhibition of memorabilia from that time we were all impressed with the information Penny Mount has of the life of William Buckingham VC who had come to the village Cottage Homes (as that forward looking offshoot of Leicester’s workhouse became known) when his family could no longer care for him. Penny was persuaded to present these facts in book form. It was felt that some more information about the village at that time would make those facts, press cuttings and photographs into the interesting book we now offer as ‘Tigers’ Tales, recalling the local name for the regiment. Jimmy’s tale came from a story told by Harold at the November memorial church service to recognise the centenary.

Set in India, this gorgeous reimagining of the classic Middle Eastern folk tale "Abu Kassem's Slippers" features a poor tiger cub who is a very hard worker. His mother weaves him slippers to protect his feet from stones and thorns, and they allowed him to prosper--first making bricks, then building houses, and eventually becoming very wealthy. He continues to wear them until someone questions why such a prominent person would wear such worn shoes. Feeling embarrassed, Tiger tries to get rid of the slippers, but fate keeps bringing them back. Finally, Tiger sends them to his uncle, who weeps with pride when he sees the slippers his sister made and his nephew used to accomplish so much. He sets off right away to visit them, bringing the slippers along. Tiger can't believe the slippers are back again, but his little cub gives him an idea: honor the slippers by building a special place for them, to remind him of how far he's come.

Perfect for children aged 7+ Magnificent, powerful and mysterious, the tiger is one of the world's most iconic animals. It is also one of most endangered. For hundreds of years, these exceptional beasts have been hunted, pushing them to the brink of extinction. How can we save them? This compelling tale tells the turbulent true story of the tragic disappearance of tigers from Panna Tiger Reserve in India and, finally, their heroic return. We follow a group of tigers, each with their own individual traits, on their adventures. Together, we learn how the tiger experts introduce tigers to the reserve and track them as they explore, hunt, play, swim, mate and make the forest their home. However, all is not as it seems – and there is danger lurking in the shadows of the emerald forest. With evocative storytelling combined with clear non-fiction information by eco-expert Catherine Barr and lush illustrations by Tara Anand, this story illuminates exactly why tiger conservation is so important. 'Catherine Barr's book reminds us all that the threat of tiger trade still lingers and there is no room for complacency.' EIA (Environmental Investigation Agency)
