Book Details
Poetry and Pictures for the Young of Heart
Travel with Jack to a magical world where you meet a boy who flies in a spoon over the moon, a cat and mouse baseball team, kids who live in a shoe, a kangaroo with his face painted blue, a boy who rides a spotted cow to school, an alligator that plays saxophone, a bear that rides around on a ball, spooks and goblins in a witches brew with illustrations that are haunting, poignant, sensual, and brooding.
