"Tiger is a bit grumpy. Why won't the other forest animals give him food...even when he yells at them? Why doesn't anyone want to be his friend? Then a talking Dandelion shoots down from space and attaches permanently to his tail. (Don't ask how). *shake shake shake* Why won't Tail-Flower come off?! Why does everyone in the forest seem to like her better? Stuck with each other, and against all odds, Tiger and Tail-Flower become fast friends and set off on a series of adventures. Rescuing Mother Hen and her lost egg from a cliff. Fording a river for Rabbit, Hedgehog, and Raccoon. Throwing a big party with everyone in the forest! Tiger and Tail-Flower even grow old together. And though they don't realize it, one day their last adventure arrives. When they decide to travel through the forest and climb the big mountain in the sky, a hunter's net snares them deep in the forest."--
