AlbakiReads Editorial

A drawing game with one impossible rule

The book turns a simple instruction—imagine anything except tigers—into a playful exchange between the reader and an illustrator. Requests for other drawings, including a cow doing ballet, set up the joke; the illustrator’s attempts at tigers bring practice and imperfection into the picture. Its premise gives the read-aloud a participatory shape, with creativity and persistence woven into the humor rather than presented as a separate lesson.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for children ages 4–8 who enjoy interactive read-alouds.
  • For young readers interested in drawing, animals, or silly visual humor.
  • A possible choice for adults sharing a book about creativity and practice.

Book overview

Dream up anything you like, dear reader, and watch it come to life on the next page--just no tigers! This fun read-aloud about creativity and perspeverance will have your reader giggling and inspired, all while our hero learns that with a bit of practice, even the wildest challenges can be tamed.

This book is MAGIC! Imagine anything you like, and the illustrator will draw it on the next page. There's only one rule: DON'T THINK OF TIGERS! Ready?

Oh dear. You thought of tigers, didn't you? Please, think of anything else. A cow doing ballet? No problem! Just no tigers. Our illustrator really, really can't draw tigers...

Or can he?

As his hilariously silly and irresistibly charming drawings of tigers improve, Alex Latimer delivers a subtle but important message about practice, creativity, and embracing imperfection.

A fun read-aloud that's sure to delight time and time again, this is the perfect book for kids who love to draw--and for those who don't (but might soon!).
