A story by W.W. Rowe.
Broadly based on a Jataka Tale, this past-life story of the Buddha explains why we can see the image of a rabbit on the face of the moon. When the god Sakra tested four animals, only the rabbit showed true compassion and selfless generosity.
In this exciting adaptation of the tale, Sakra assumes a frightening form - half tiger, half crocodile. During their jungle adventures, the selfish failings of the fox, monkey and weasel are humorously revealed.
Beautiful full-colour illustrations bring the story magically to life. It is delightful to read aloud.
30 pages with coloured illustrations. For ages 5-10
