Half-As-Big and the Tiger


Half-as-big and the Tiger
Bernice Frankel
pictures by Leonard Weisgard 1961

The little deer, named Half-as-Big, is not as fast or as big as his two older brothers.  When a hungry tiger comes prowling around Half-as-big proves to be both brave and clever.  And after outwitting the tiger, he realizes he might not be as fast or tall, but he's twice as smart as his brothers!  Author Frankel uses deer to tell a story in the classic "three brothers" fable style.  (Youngest siblings always delight in these stories where it's the littlest that proves to be the hero!).
