Tiger Escapes from Ship Heading Toward Circus in New Animal Poetry Collection
CARDIFF, Wales (PRWEB) July 17, 2018 -- “Are There Really Tigers in Tiger Bay? And Other Animal Poems” (published by AuthorHouse UK) by Hazel Houldey is a collection of animal poems written for children. Paired with colorful illustrations, the book is intended to entertain young readers learning about all the different animals and their environments. The book is available for purchase at: https://www.authorhouse.co.uk/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?Book=767931.
The titular poem centers on a giant tiger that escapes a ship carrying animals to a circus and makes its way through Cardiff, Wales. The other poems offer shorter verses about various animals – snails, manatees, twilight owls – that reflect on the animal’s key features and habitat.
Houldey was inspired to write the poems by her love of animals and her home in Cardiff.
An excerpt of “Are There Really Tigers in Tiger Bay?”:
Are there really tigers in Tiger Bay? / A little girl asked her Grandad one day
Oh yes of course, her Grandad said / As she settled her teddy bears to bed
This is how the story goes / He said, remembering all he knows
“Are There Really Tigers in Tiger Bay?”
