    About this ebook

    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 Calef's 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!). It's a whimsical world: creative, fun, and inspiring!

      Hypnotize a Tiger, by Calef Brown, is a fun little collection of silly poems great for early elementary school kids. It has simple black-and-white (Actually, blue and white) art, and cute, ridiculous poems about many different subjects. Of particular note is the section “word crashes” that combines words into new words. Fun for a lesson on how language develops. One other idea might be to do an art project letting kids pick their favorite poem out of the book and do something with it. This is a creative and entertaining poetry book that would also be fun to read aloud.
