Giving readers a front-row seat to a comical encounter based on Aesop's The Dog and His Reflection, Tabor once again takes a picture book's physical form into account, asking readers to open it vertically. Digitally assembled pencil, colored pencil, and acrylic art, which combines textures scribbly and velvety, chronicles Simon's unsuccessful attempts to best his scrawny little rival with a series of challenges and a polite warning.
