LoveReading4Kids Says
Award-winning author and illustrator Caroline Pitcher and Jackie Morris capture the vibrant and wild world of the tiger in this beautiful and lavishly produced book.
When Little Tiger is born he tells his mother of all the exciting sounds he can hear around him. They are his first introduction to the other animals in the forest and the lives they lead. That’s fine for a tiger cub, his mother tells him, but what he must be wating for is when the Lord of the Forest comes. That is when he will hear no sounds.
The little Tiger grows up, mates with a beautiful Tigeress and his own cubs. He is still hearing the sounds of the forest and wondering who the Lord of the Forest may be. One day he looks into the deep pool. Suddenly, he can hear no sounds. Is he the Lord of the Forest?
Beautifully produced in a large format, this fable, richly imagined in both the lyrical words of the text and the stunning, large scale watercolour illustrations, is a book to treasure.

Lord of the Forest Synopsis
Eighteen years after its first publication, this brandnew, large-scale format makes Lord of the Forest a perfect addition to any child’s collection of treasured books. This classic story of self-discovery sees a young tiger grow in knowledge of the world around them, all the while trying to find out who the Lord of the Forest really is. From the trumpeting elephant to the strutting peacock, there’s plenty of advice available, but perhaps the answer’s a little closer to hand than he realises…
Everything in the forest is new and exciting for little Tiger - grass growing long after rain, snakes slithering, Monkey whooping to his tribe.
But every time Tiger tells his mother what he hears, she says, "When you don’t hear them, then, my son, be ready. The Lord of the Forest is here!" Tiger is puzzled, and can’t help wondering: who can the Lord of the Forest be?
A message from Jackie Morris, ‘I’m delighted to see Lord of the Forest re-released into the wilds of the bookshops and libraries by Graffeg in this large-format, deluxe edition. I’ve always loved the shape of tigers and hope that it will prowl into the hearts of new families.’
And Caroline Pitcher adds, ‘I am so proud my story Lord of the Forest, celebrating that awesome animal known as Tiger, is republished in its new format.’
