Book Information & Summary
Written and illustrated by Kim Sung-min
One day, a mother accidentally confronted a big and scary tiger on her way from work. To get out of the dangerous situation, she gave her all pieces of rice cake, but eventually the tiger was never satisfied with rice cake. Inevitably, the mother ended up being eaten by the greedy tiger. The tiger disguised himself as the mother, and headed to home. The tiger managed to deceive children, and ate a little baby first. Then, the rest of the children knew it was not their mother, and tried to escape from the greedy tiger. Just right before the tiger caught the brother and the sister, the God gave a strong rope to the brother and the sister. Children climbed up to the rope, and became the sun and the moon.
The story is instructive for young children to indirectly experience fear and to learn to be ready for possible obstacles. The author vividly shows such a thrilled and exciting story through wood-block print. Detailed lines of illustration well express the atmosphere and the message that the author wanted to provide throughout the story.
