This book tells the story of Leopard, who has a beautiful and shiny coat, and his struggle to survive the dangers facing him. It is the second in this series of short books for children which use myth and illustrations to heighten awareness of the plight of endangered species. The first was "Rhino's Horn". A percentage of the royalties from these books will go to the World Wildlife Fund. John Hare has written numerous books for children under the pseudonym Dan Fulani.
