Description
A small mouse's life is threatened by large jungle predators. To save him, a kindly hermit uses magic to change him into a cat, a dog, and a majestic tiger.
But the proud tiger soon forgets his humble origins and suffers the consequences of his new form. Marcia Brown retells an Indian fable from the Hitopadesa in this Caldecott Medal-winning tale.
The magical woodcuts by Marcia Brown bring this enchanting story to life, reminding us that pride and gratitude can be a delicate balance.
