What is Don't Think of Tigers about?

The narrator can draw anything you imagine—but whatever you do, don’t think of tigers! Of course, tigers are suddenly all anyone can think about. Soon, the pages are filled with increasingly silly big cats: tigers in mermaid costumes, tigers carrying briefcases and tigers that look nothing like tigers at all. As the drawings become more ridiculous, the narrator discovers that making mistakes is part of learning. With practice, could even the worst tiger drawings become masterpieces?
