About This Item
New York: Hyperion Books for Children, 2008. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket.. Signed first printing of this extremely relatable story of a young boy who moves to a retirement home to get away from his responsibilities - with original drawing of Brian, the titular kid. Jon Agee studied painting and animation at the Cooper Union, an education evident in his bold illustrations - he imbues even inanimate objects with a sense of motion through his sketchy outlines. His affinity for the absurd makes for delightful reading. 11.5'' x 8.75''. Original pictorial boards. Original unclipped ($16.99) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [32] pages. Signed by Agee to front flyleaf, with original drawing of Brian. Sharp and bright.
