Tennis, Anyone?
What kind of birthday present is a TENNIS RACKET? For the boy who tells this winning story, it seems awfully boring at first. It doesn’t beep or buzz or do anything cool. And who plays tennis, anyway? As it turns out, Dad is the mastermind behind what our narrator decides is a pretty excellent present after all. (Besides-even if you don’t like tennis, you can always pretend it’s an electric guitar!)

Reviews
Library Media Connection
“Tom’s first-person narrative convincingly conveys the reluctance about trying something new. The vivid digital artwork is captivating, imbedded with tennis-themed details.”

School Library Journal
“Eye-catching, digitally rendered cartoon illustrations feature a boy with Brillo-pad hair, just like his dad’s.”
