Overview

A hermit knows the magic to change a small mouse into a cat, a dog, and a majestic tiger — and Marcia Brown's magical woodcuts bring this Indian fable to life with the mastery that won her her second Caldecott Medal.

As it changes from mouse, to cat, to dog, to tiger, a hermit's pet also becomes increasingly vain.
