You are a Bengal tiger cub,
one of three — Dacca, Rajpur, Raniganj — abandoned by your mother.
You are so cold and thin that someone with kind hands puts you on a heating pad and sits by you for hours, moistening your mouth with milk.
When you give a weak cry and look up, there is a human face almost crying too.
Your new mother is Helen Delaney Martini, who has already raised a lion cub in her New York apartment. Tigers in the bathtub will be no problem for her and her husband, Fred.
This remarkable book — strikingly striped as tigers are, sympathetically spoken as any child could wish — tells the story of Helen Martini, founder of the Bronx Zoo's animal nursery in 1944 and its first woman zookeeper.

reviewed Mother to Tigers on September 05, 2012 Mother to Tigers
"Mother to Tigers" is a beautifully illustrated picture book that tells the history of Helen Martini who was the first woman zookeeper at the Bronx Zoo. Helen never had the opportunity to experience motherhood with a human baby but she was able to become a mother in a different sense by caring for the baby animals that her husband brought home for the zoo. In the end, she knew that she would be unable to care for all the baby animals at home and offered to start a nursery at the Zoo. I like how the introduction to the book started out with "Suppose you were a lion cub - abandoned." I found that these pages made you want to read further to discover what happened to the lion cub. Then you were lead into the background of Helen and her husband and the history behind raising the cubs in their apartment and the establishment of the nursery. The end of the book you have the authors note outlining Helen's accomplishments throughout the years. I liked how this book teaches children that anything is possible. Children's unconditional love for animals makes this book easy for children to follow.
