There is an added bonus of "adventure stickers" August 11, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Collaboratively written by Amanda Lumry and Laura Hurwitz, and enhanced with the colorful artistry of Sarah McIntyre who combines photos and illustrations, Adventures Of Riley: Tigers In Terai is set in the lowlands of Nepal where young Riley explores this home of tigers, elephants, and other fascinating creatures with his Uncle Max. The text is enhanced with frequent sidebars providing information on specific animals. There is an added bonus of "adventure stickers" and a website where children can continue the adventure well beyond the pages of this particular book. Approved by The Smithsonian Institution, The Wildlife Conservation Society, and The World Wildlife Fund, Adventures Of Riley: Tigers In Terai is an approved and recommended addition to personal reading lists, school, and community library collections.

This book is adorable! Finally there is a book that teaches children about real facts and information in a delightful setting. The photos of the real animals jump off the page and the illustrations are charming! My youngest will sit and look at the pictures over and over, while my seven year old will read the book and fact boxes and then ask me "Did you know?" questions. I learned a great deal from this book and so did my kids. I would recommend this book to anyone with young children!

I liked seeing the photographs of the tigers. There is a lot of information about other animals, too, and a scientist with antlers.
The kids at school loved this book! April 16, 2003

The combination of adventure and educational material in this book made it a great hit with my daughter and her friends, as well as the moms and teachers. The story follows a boy on an expedition to study the paths of some endangered tigers. We love the photo/drawing combination and the extra tidbits of info on the sidebars. A friend borrowed the book for her 6th grade class, and they loved it, too - I would extend the recommended ages to at least 4-12. (I'd guess it's a 3rd grade reading level). We can't wait for the series to be extended to more adventures of Riley.
