Little Tiger's older brother challenges him to scare "a single animal in the forest." But no matter how much Little Tiger tries ("Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe... / ROAR!!!"), he's too little to be frightening. Finally, he catches sight of his own reflection in a pond and manages to scare...himself. Soft, personality-rich pencil and watercolor illustrations accompany a simple but entertaining story.

Tabby cat Clemmie fancies herself an excellent mouse catcher (she reads how-to books), even though she's never seen a mouse (because "all the mice are afraid of me"). Clean pencil and watercolor illustrations tell another story of a clever mouse that knows how to disguise its mousy appearance. In a wonderful plot twist, Clemmie learns the art of disguise herself--look out mouse!

PS
One bright day, a small rabbit finds himself terrified by his shadow, which he thinks is another rabbit, large and menacing. He tries hiding from it, but to no avail. The digitally combined watercolor and ink illustrations are expressive and comic. With the dramatic page turns, the art cleverly plays up both the story's suspense and the joke of the shadow's identity throughout.
