The birds (Ten Birds) are frightened by a scary monster and choose items from a pile of clothing to transform themselves into a series of ever-more-threatening creatures. Finally, one bird breaks the pattern, retrieves a glove from the other room--and vanquishes the monster (observant readers will see that it was the glove's shadow). Elegant pen-and-ink drawings accompany the whimsical story.
