Hailed by Publishers Weekly as “hip and hilarious.”\n\nFrom the creators of the Caldecott Honor-winning John Henry comes a reimagining of Helen Bannerman’s Little Black Sambo. Julius Lester uses his inimitable black southern storytelling voice to bring new life and laughter to Sam, a little boy with bright new clothes who encounters a group of tigers on his way to school. Like his breathtaking animal illustrations in The Lion and the Mouse and The Talking Eggs, Jerry Pinkney’s tigers prowl off the page and leap into the imagination. All of the Lester and Pinkney trademarks are present: wit, humor, and the perfect marriage of words and images, making this classic folktale accessible to new generations.\n\n“A hip and hilarious retelling that marries the essence of the original with an innovative vision of its own.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)\n\nALA Notable Book\nAmerican Bookseller Pick of the Lists\nBook Links Best Book of the Year\nBooklist Editors’ Choice\nChildren’s Books Mean Business\nSchool Library Journal Best Book of the Year\nWashington Irving Children’s Choice Award\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0803720289\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0803720289.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lester, Julius\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
