Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
As a merchant makes his way to the market, he comes across a beautiful tiger that has fallen down a hole. The merchant is kind enough to help the tiger out of the hole, but once he does, the tiger wants to eat him! The merchant doesn't think this is fair ...but who is right and how can the merchant get away unscathed? AGES: 6 + AUTHOR: Lari Don was born in Chile and brought up in Scotland. She has worked in politics and for the BBC, but now spends her time passing on old stories and making up new ones. She is a traditional storyteller, as well as an award-winning children's author, whose love of myths, legends and fables inspires her fiction. Lari lives in Edinburgh with her family and has also written Little Red Riding Hood for Barefoot Books. Melanie Williamson draws her pictures in a cozy studio in Manchester, England and loves all things bright and quirky. She doesn't have a pet tiger, but her cat looks just like a snow leopard . . . and he can swim! This is her first project with Barefoot Books.
