Tom the Tamer

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Philip Hopman. In this zany tale, Tom cures his father's fear of animals by secretly training exotic pets to pose as pieces of furniture. When the trick comes to light, Dad admits the animals aren't so dangerous after all. A matter-of-fact narrative makes the preposterous seem possible, and the detailed tongue-in-cheek illustrations demonstrate how a polar bear, for example, can pretend to be an armchair.
