Little Cheetah’s Shadow has run away because it feels that Little Cheetah doesn’t appreciate him. Little Cheetah decides to let Little Shadow take the lead, with some good results and some mistakes.

While I think the idea of a shadow wanting to play a more prominent role could be a very cute book -- this is not that book.  It is almost charming, but not quite there.
