Darkness surrounds him (No light, no problem! says the kitten) , venomous vipers drop from the trees (Snakes? I've got this) , hungry hyenas circle the tiger--and suddenly the kitten begins to wonder if there can be such a thing as too much adventure. As the story gets scarier and scarier, he realizes that what one wants and what one needs are sometimes two different things.
