      Dieses Buch ist magisch. Du stellst dir etwas vor, und ich zeichne es auf der nächsten Seite. Aber bevor wir anfangen, muss ich dich um eine Sache bitten: Denk bloß nicht an Tiger! Denn es zeigt sich, dass der Erzähler vieles gut zeichnen kann, nur Tiger nicht. Aber natürlich denkt man als Leser:in nun erst recht an Tiger ... also muss der Erzähler sie zeichnen – und sie sind tatsächlich zum Totlachen schlecht gemalt! Am Ende des Buches erklärt Alex Latimer, warum er es geschrieben hat, nämlich weil er sich wünschte, jemand hätte ihm gesagt, dass man durch das Zeichnen nicht so guter Bilder lernt, gute Bilder zu zeichnen.

Eines Tages haben die Tiere die Nase voll und schalten eine Anzeige, in der sie um Hilfe bitten. Darauf meldet sich ausgerechnet der kleine und schmächtige Hase. Zunächst glaubt niemand, dass er mutig und stark genug ist, um gegen den fiesen Löwen zu gewinnen. Doch mit viel List und Tücke (und einer Handvoll Freunde) beweist der Hase allen das Gegenteil ...
