Flying Jake

Rating:
Summary: Shame on Lane Smith!
Review: His wonderful illustrations for this book are seductive and might well convince young children to try and fly! I can imagine the danger involved should a young child take this book to heart. I would be less reluctant to highly recommend this book if it weren't squarley aimed at impressonable young children.

Summary: To disarm the negative effects of a one star review...
Review: Lane Smith is a ridiculously talented illustrator and writer. Each book I have read by him is endlessly witty and intelligent, while being no less asthetically pleasing. What an asset to children's literature he is!

Rating:
Summary: Early classic!
Review: This early book by Lane Smith gives insight into what was to come later with The Stinky Cheese Man and The Happy Hocky Family. A classic!
