Description
From the creators of the Caldecott Honor-winning
comes a reimagining of Helen Bannerman＊s
Julius Lester uses his inimitable black southern storytelling voice to bring new life and laughter to Sam, a little boy with bright new clothes who encounters a group of tigers on his way to school. Like his breathtaking animal illustrations in
and
, Jerry Pinkney＊s tigers prowl off the page and leap into the imagination. All of the Lester and Pinkney trademarks are present: wit, humor, and the perfect marriage of words and images, making this classic folktale accessible to new generations.
?A hip and hilarious retelling that marries the essence of the original with an innovative vision of its own.§?
