This book will be read with great interest not only by children, but also by adults. After all, the brothers Edgard and Askold Zapashny - trainers of tigers and lions - are known and respected by everyone. The reader will be able, as they say "first-hand," to learn about their rare and dangerous profession, where tigers come from in the circus, how they are raised and what are the features of working with them, whether tigers like to play and why trainers obey, whether it is possible to keep a tiger cub at home. The author talks about how they become circus performers, and even explains how to teach a pet dog a few simple but real circus tricks.
