Fantastic Frame series.
Illustrated by
Samantha Kallis.
On her eightieth birthday, neighbor Viola's magical picture frame sucks Tiger and his friend Luna (and Chives, Viola's faithful pig butler) into Georgia O'Keeffe's Red Hills with the Pedernal. The trio rushes to locate Viola's long-lost son atop Pedernal, a New Mexico mesa. Cartoon-style illustrations incorporating O'Keeffe's art add to the otherwise slight gimmick of this series' fourth installment; "About the Painting" details appended.
