PICTURE BOOKS
Latimer, Alex

Don't Think of Tigers

(3) K-3 The speaker in this silly metafictive picture book promises to draw whatever readers or listeners picture in their heads, but instructs, “DON’T THINK OF TIGERS!” Of course, tigers of all sorts and in all styles show up constantly in the humorous, boldly colored illustrations. An enjoyable read-aloud that, with the help of an author’s note, encourages young artists to take risks and “make BAD PICTURES!”
