ONCE UPON A TIGER contains a wide variety of poems by award-winning poet Janet Wong: funny poems, rhyming poems, free verse poetry, pourquoi tale poems, inspirational poems, and love poems for wildlife. Watercolor illustrations by Sladjana Vasic burst with personality and will inspire kids to learn about conservation of animals and their rainforest and ocean habitats. Nonfiction end-notes and embedded facts within the poems provide an educational bonus.

Kids who love pandas, polar bears and elephants--and who want to help these animals--will be inspired by this book. The author is donating royalties to the WWF and other wildlife charities.

Here is "Leatherback Sea Turtle":

The First Big Turtle Race:

Leatherback said,
"This suitcase
of heavy shell
is weighing me down.
Swimming
six thousand miles
I'll probably drown
with this thing on."

So he chucked it--
gone--
with a flip of a fin.

And sleek Leatherback
went on to WIN!
