From the title of this book you can probably guess what
is going to happen to little Bobby.
Based on the author/illustrator's fantasy from his own
childhood, the story begins on what would appear to be
a normal spring day in Washington, D.C. sometime in the
late 1940's. But what starts out as a normal day, doesn't
stay normal for very long. When Bobby turns into a real
black panther living in the National Zoo the fun has only
begun! Not only does he escape from the zoo but, he then
proceeds to help all of the other animals in the zoo to
escape. You will need to read the story to find out what
happens then!
