- Abstract
- en_US Here is a bright hardbound children's book. It tells the story particularly well. Thus the tiger declares that the Brahmin deserves to be eaten for being so foolish as to trust a hungry tiger (9); again he believes that he will be able to eat not only the Brahmin but all three judges (11). The first judge, a tree, refuses to help because neither people nor animals have ever been good to it (12). The buffalo thinks that the Brahmin deserves to be eaten for trusting a tiger (14). The river philosophizes that those who help others cannot expect kindness in return (16). The Brahmin is then ready to be eaten, no matter how unjustly, when a jackal happens by…. The hungry tiger is even ready by this time to share eating the Brahmin with the clever jackal. Dramatic full-page colored pictures join with black-and-white text pages to make a pair in each case except on 18-19 and 26-27, all black-and-white, and 22-23, a magnificent color spread showing the three walking to the scene of the event. The cover-picture, repeated from 28, shows the tiger getting annoyed at the delay. The creeping tiger two pages later is also excellent. The frames are as revealing as the pictures within them. Notice, e.g., the many different faces of the Brahmin that surround the caged tiger on 7 and the many expressions of the jackal around the tiger on 28.
