Sam and the Tigers was recommended by a lady at our local library. She said her son loves the book, how fitting that his name is Sam! The author engages readers with the fantasy story of Sam versus the tigers. Julius is sure to use his humor in his writing, for example when he says, "Faster and faster and faster and faster the Tigers ran until - they melted into a pool of butter as golden as a dream come true" Readers are able to visualize in their head the images that Julius describes. Once again, Jerry Pinkney does a wonderful job explaining the story through his work of art.
Julius Lester has written over 40 other books, which include the titles:
- To Be a Slave
- Long Journey Home
- The Knee-High Man
- Day of Tears
