Ryan T. Higgins
A little tiger fears only worms: their sliminess, their wiggling, and the difficulty of telling one end from the other. His worry keeps him from enjoying a flowerpot, an apple, and even a book. Meanwhile, worms see the tiger as frightening, but appreciate the things he leaves behind for them. They learn from a book about tigers and eventually chase him to offer a grateful worm hug.
