Mother to tigers by
George Ella Lyon(
Book
)
3 editions published between 2002 and 2003 in English and held by 1,081 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Tells the story of how Helen Frances Theresa Delaney Martini cared for baby zoo animals, started the first zoo nursery and became the first woman zookeeper at the Bronx Zoo. 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

Choices : stories for adult new readers by
George Ella Lyon(
Book
)
5 editions published between 1989 and 2011 in English and held by 228 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
These 13 short stories were written specifically for new adult readers. Each story is narrated by a fictional character from Appalachia. The words are relatively simple and the texts are printed in large-print type. The book, produced for Kentucky literacy programs, has "choices" as its theme. Each story deals with an important decision the teller has confronted, often involving marriage, family life, or work. Some of the stories are comical, others are sad. Almost all of them are linked in some way to conditions of rural Appalachian poverty. The author uses some Appalachian dialect, including non-standard grammar, to establish her characters. (Tes)
