A wise old rabbit tells her grand-daughter some of her adventures, recounting with verve and a sly, subversive humor some of the episodes surrounding Tiger’s rise to power, his abusive rule and ultimate downfall. This shadow theater piece, using figures modeled on antiques from the Pauline Benton collection, deals humorously with issues of power and survival of the small and powerless in today’s modern jungle. Grades 2 - 7.
