Reviews"Rayner creates a tiger every bit as powerfully impressive as the one in Marcia Brown's Caldecott Medal-winning Once a Mouse (1961)." -Kirkus Reviews "Rayner combines a poetic sensibility with textured backgrounds and sweeping brushstrokes in this understated, visually dramatic story of one tiger's quest. The masterful art will engage readers on a deeply sensual level." -Publishers Weekly
