The #1 bestselling picture book in Korea . . . a laugh-out-loud blend of joyous comics and lush full spread illustrations!
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). *shake shake shake* Why won't she come off?! Why does everyone in the forest seem to like Tail-Flower better?
Stuck with each other, Tiger and Tail-Flower nonetheless 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 surprise party for everyone in the forest!
Tiger and Tail-Flower even grow old together. Though they don't realize it, one day their last adventure arrives: 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, far away from any help. And Tail-Flower gets an idea. With a twinkle in her eye, she asks, "Tiger, we'll always be best friends, right?"
Lee Gee Eun is the most beloved picture book artist working in Korea today, and The Legend of Tiger and Tail-Flower is her magnum opus.
