Tiptoe Tapirs

(1) PS This South Korean pourquoi tale begins in the jungle when animals were all noisy ("The rhinoceros went BAM-BAM!"), except for Tapir and Little Tapir. One day a leopard attacks; his noisy pursuit attracts a hunter. Little Tapir, risking her own life, helps rescue the frightened leopard by teaching him to use quiet steps. Words and pictures provide excellent pacing, heightening humor, drama, and wonder.
