Tigers at Twilight (Magic Tree House #19): 04/17/10

Tigers at Twilight is the third in a miniseries where Jack and Annie have to find four gifts to help an enchanted dog. The dog they met on the Titanic and has since been following them through their adventures.

For their "gift from a forest far" they travel to a remote part of India where they befriend langur monkeys, ride on some elephants, get followed by a tiger and meet a swami.

It's a good introduction to the animals of the Indian jungle but like Lions at Lunchtime it fails to connect man's impact there. Sean's question throughout the book was: "Don't lots of people live there?"
