From the dust jacket front flap: "I'll be king of beasts by the time the moon rises," said the tiger. And so begins this now classic fable about the hunger for omnipotence and pointless strife.
The power and drama of the story, along with the jungle itself, are gorgeously imagined and brought to life by JooHee Yoon.
