MY REVIEW
Biao the Tiger is in the Great Race competition that is being held by the emperor.
The first twelve will have a year named after them, and Biao is determined to win.
But Biao the Tiger, has a temper. He will need to control that anger of hers.
During the race, Biao, can see there had been a fire! The smell of the burning is killing the forest.
Also Biao sees the Western Forest is in danger, humans are chopping down trees, and wants help to stop them.
Can Biao have a plan and save the forest and win the title Tiger of the Year?
This is an amazing children’s series by children’s writer Eric Hung with brilliant storytelling, with educational fact at the back of the book, and with the most incredible illustrations by the talented Phung Nguyen Quang.
