Written by Janice Lee Smith and illustrated by Dick Gackenbach, this is the first Harper Trophy edition of the beloved Adam Joshua series, a collection of funny, relatable short stories about a boy navigating the small dramas of childhood with big imagination.
A wonderful gift for anyone who loved chapter books as a child, or for a young reader just graduating from picture books to something with a little more story.
Dick Gackenbach, a former advertising art director, became one of the most prolific illustrators of Harper & Row's I Can Read and early chapter book lines through the 1970s and 80s, lending his warm, comic style to dozens of titles including this Adam Joshua series alongside Janice Lee Smith's gently funny writing about everyday childhood mishaps.
