Hypnotize a Tiger: Poems About Just About Everything

Hypnotize a Tiger: Poems About Just About Everything by Brown, Calef. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780805099287.

Winner of the Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Honor Award Winner of the Lion & Unicorn Award for Excellence in North American Poetry An NEA Educator Recommended Book This is the first longer-format, middle-grade collection from #1 New York Times–bestselling author-illustrator Calef Brown. Moving away from the picture book format offers Calef the opportunity to tackle a variety of themes and poetry styles as well as reach a slightly older audience. Hypnotize a Tiger is chock-full of Calefs zany black-and-white artwork and features his wonderfully inventive characters and worlds―from the "completely nonviolent and silent" Lou Gnome to Percival, the impetuous (and none-too-sensible) lad who believes he is invincible, to Hugh Jarm (who has a huge arm, natch!). Its a whimsical world: creative, fun, and inspiring!
