Hit the Road, Jack

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ross MacDonald. Jack, a hip rabbit in human clothing, takes off on a cross-country road trip to San Francisco à la Jack Kerouac. The colloquial language and eager tone work well here, but moments only adults will relate to ("money's only something, Jack, that gets you in a rut") dominate the story; pastoral illustrations warmly depict awe-inspiring scenery. A note on Kerouac is appended.
