Translated by David Henry Wilson.
When an egg falls on tiger Herman's head, he builds a nest for it in his zoo enclosure. After it hatches, Herman teaches his "little tiger bird" how to be tough--an attribute that the bird employs when he squares off against a much-bigger pelican. This dynamically illustrated tale about the malleability of identity ends anticlimactically, but the book's endearing stars could support a sequel.
