Summary | Animated versions of four William Steig stories and an interview with the author. In the first story, Sylvester turns himself into a rock to escape the jaws of a hungry lion; in the second, a young pig touched by spring finds a magic bone; in the third story, a hungry fox with a toothache begs a mouse dentist to relieve his pain; and in the fourth story Irene summons all of her courage to deliver a ball gown to a duchess in the face of a fierce snowstorm. |
