Yoo Hoo! Tiger!

Using original illustrations by an acclaimed African-American artist, Yoo Hoo! Tiger! combines visual problem solving with a timeless story. In 16 paintings, the book tells the story of Buck, a gangly baby tiger whose stripes crackle with an almost electric energy. Children are invited to locate Buck in increasingly vivid and aesthetically challenging settings -- from the natural environment to urban locales to imaginary abstract worlds -- that are by turns whimsical, surreal, and stylized.The tiger is artist Thornton Dial's best-known image, and it recurs throughout his work. In Yoo Hoo! Tiger! it becomes a symbol of both playfulness and perseverance. The final page explains how tiger populations are threatened and how young people can help preserve these magnificent animals.Arnett, Paul is the author of 'Yoo Hoo!
