Summary: I love this book
Comment: I loved this book as a kid, and I love it still. A few years ago I hunted down a copy from the publisher, since I never had the nerve to steal it from my local library!

It's a great story about a boy in the Village in the '60s, and how he learns to be play the guitar and be cool. There are jewel thieves and Ed Sullivan lookalikes and all sorts of zany things, as well as cool illustrations.

I'd love to get my hands on another copy to give to my 10 year old niece.

Summary: A great urban adventure story for pre-adolescents
Comment: This story of a boy growing up almost on his own, without a mother and with a loving but rather absent father, is relevant for so many children today. His bravery in overcoming his fears is inspirational. And it's a great adventure in the wilds of Greenwich Village, where the boy is surrounded by a host of offbeat characters.

Great message for kids and told from their perspective. I highly recommend this book if you can find it!

Summary: Excellent book for age group 9-14
Comment: This is more of a comment than a review, but this book is not for the baby-preschool set as indicated, but rather an excellent story for the late-elementary/junior high age group. It deals with a Greenwich Village boy in the mid 60's who lives with his bohemian-artist father, and who accidentally gets wrapped up in a jewel theft. The underlying theme is his inability to shake his dependence on a childhood teddy bear. Many great 60's references including a Beatles style rock group which he auditions for and the Greenwich Village arts scene. Great illustrations, too.
