A friendly tiger is confused by the jungle animals who are fleeing from a beast. Traces of the beast are detected by the swipe of a majestic striped tail, the flash of hypnotic green eyes and the gleam of pristine white from the underside of massive paws. When the tiger peers into a river, he sees no creature but himself. Could he be the beast? He retraces his steps and points out the similar features he shares with the other animals he has encountered, like the catfish's whiskers and the snake's green eyes. Each creature's unique structure is made evident, a lesson about the tremendous value of the animals and plants that inhabit our world speaks softly through Baker's rhythmic text. Graced with compelling beauty, this gifted author/illustrator’s imaginative story presents a timeless message to young readers.
