About

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!

Reviews

"The best books can take you to places you never knew existed. Hypnotize a Tiger will blast you there on a Skyscraper Rocket with imaginary companions, herds of wordplay, and a giant smile. Calef Brown is the surreal deal."
Kenn Nesbit, U.S. Children's Poet Laureate
"Full of absurdity and off-kilter musings, Brown's collection offers a zingy introduction to the silly side of poetry."
