Tiger Time written by Kama Einhorn, reviewed by Debra Gantz

Summary: Tiger Time is about an American rescue program for large cats in Colorado. Kama Einhorn continues her True Tales of Rescue series with one that is so heartfelt and fascinating as it connects to the problems for big cats around the world. Most are dwindling in numbers and that is due to the human race and how we choose to treat these magnificent beings. Well, Einhorn will take us from the rescue, to rehab, to recovery and finally to release in a more managed way than her other books. Most of these cats can no longer live wild, again. So, the Colorado rescue Hope and Haven finds a way to give them as close to natural habitat as they can with the help of community, rescuers, veterinarians, and educators they do everything possible to help the cats learn to be wild cats. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: Some of my students struggle with non-fiction, but finding this series has helped them so much. They feel and look like a chapter book. There are wonderful photos throughout. The backmatter needed in non-fiction is all there including tips for understanding how humans can help wild animals without touching them. How to help them find safe places to live that are not likely to involve humans at all. Also, how to find a local rescue, if help is needed for a wild animal. Knowing about licenses and laws needed for rehabilitation of wild animals is important for all of us!
