Most of us know the story of Tom and his relationship with Aunt Polly, Becky and Huck. Tom is an orphan who lives with Aunt Polly and her son, Sid. Becky is his true love even though he tries to make her jealous. Tom does know how to get into 'sticky' situations which is the cause of Aunt Polly's slipper on his backside. With the anime-inspired artwork, the story is told with verve and fascination. In some of the illustrations, it is difficult to tell who is speaking, but the reader is eventually able to sort out the differences in the characterization of Tom and Huck.
