New York: Enchanted Lion Books, 2015. JooHee YOON. [JUVENILE]. JooHee YOON, illustrator. First printing, first edition thus. Small 4to square; [34]pp; brightly colored pictorial boards lacking lettering; color pictorial eps; illustrations every page with text; unclipped color pictorial dust jacket with title, author and illustrator on front and spine; price on rear panel; fine in fine dj. From the dust jacket front flap: "I'll be king of beasts by the time the moon rises," said the tiger. And so begins this now classic fable about the hunger for omnipotence and pointless strife.

The power and drama of the story, along with the jungle itself, are gorgeously imagined and brought to life by JooHee Yoon.
