The Tiger's Egg by Nele Brönner

He's a tiger.  What does he do when an egg falls on him?  He protects it and waits for it to hatch.

NorthSouth Books and Net Galley gave me the opportunity to read this book for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can buy a copy now.

This is a sweet story.  When the egg hatches he has this little bird with long legs and feathers that are almost the same color as his fur.  He has to find some insects for the bird which he does.  He even teaches him how to roar, although it's more of a tweet.  That little bird is braver than he should be.  The Tiger has his work cut out for him...
