Overview

A Chicago physician and her writing-partner mother, a fourth-generation Chicagoan, combine for a delightful volume of verse depicting the common and not-so-common adventures of an All- American boy named Ned. Written in journal form and illustrated with watercolors, the journal's entries carry an intriguing narrative in which Ned chronicles the myriad frustrations of his life: ranging the vexing spelling of sister Elizabeth's name, to the bothersome hair in his grandfather's nose. The journal opens up to children the value of journal writing and the economy and whimsy of poetry while providing, through episodic story lines, simple lessens of good humor, courtesy, patience and persistent effort.
