Description
To explain the markings on their faces and tails, Ming Miao tells her kittens the story of their ancestor, Sagwa of China, and how the kitten's antics foiled the Foolish Magistrate. This fairy tale is the inspiration of a new PBS animated series debuting in fall 2001. Full-color illustrations.
