The Rabbit's Tail: A Story from Korea

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Wehrman. In this lengthy but well-told pourquoi tale about the rabbit's stubby tail, an overheard comment makes a tiger think that a dried persimmon is a creature that is fiercer than he. A rabbit finds himself in trouble after laughing at the tiger's foolishness. Crucial details in the often garishly colored artwork are sometimes lost in the gutter. An informative source note is included.
