Illustrated by
Susan Guevara.
One hot day in the jungle, a bored young boy finds a magic feather and conjures up a playmate--a tiger. When the tiger grows hungry and threatens his village, the boy stays in control and uses his magic feather once again. Told in poetic, lilting prose, the tale pays homage to the power of imagination. Boldly colored illustrations evoke the sights and sounds of the jungle; they allow the reader to watch the action yet remain safely apart.
