Howie Bowles and Uncle Sam

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Isaac Millman. After mistakenly receiving a letter from the IRS demanding the payment of $112.15, nine-year-old Howie worries about the possibility of going to jail and even attempts to take out a bank loan to pay Uncle Sam. Treated with both humor and sympathy, Howie's misguided assumptions are at once amusing and believable. Expressive line drawings accompany each brief chapter.
