This is a bizarre story with a wonderful moment in it:

"Sometimes the world looked so beautiful he felt satisfied just being a tiny part of it, even embedded in wood." ( )

52 months-enjoyable and similar to his other transformation book... But we prefer the magic pebble more. ( )

Solomon, a young rabbit, discovers he can change into a rusty nail just by scratching his nose and wiggling his toes at the same time.
When he's kidnapped by a hungry cat, Solomon transforms himself, but to no avail, because the cat knows it's a trick and imprisons poor Solomon.
How will Solomon ever get home to his family? ( )

As usual, Mr. Steig delights the eye with his play of colors, and makes you laugh out loud with his verbal surprises.
