Gorgeously illustrated and including two gatefolds that give us a panoramic jungle at war,The Tiger Who Would Be Kingis as entertaining as it is wise, as wry as it is passionate. Yoon's humorous images support this beautifully written text with wit and insight. Her final portrait of the tiger in a sea of silence will stay with the reader for a long, long time.
JooHee Yoonis an illustrator and printmaker. She strives to create picture books that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
James Thurberjoined the staff of theNew Yorkerin 1927. His contributions to that magazine, both as a writer and an artist, were instrumental in changing the character of American humor.
Thurber's rapier wit meets its match in Yoon's intelligent, powerful imagery in this classic tale about the absurdity of omnipotence.

The illustrations constitute a wholly serious piece of artwork, one that may remind older readers of Picasso's Guernica. --Publishers Weekly
