Richard is fighting with his brother in the back seat of the car. When he refuses to stop, his father lets him out on the side of the road. This is where he lives ...for the rest of his life. I thought this book was weird and did not like it. There was no apparent lesson to be learned and the ending didn't make sense to me. ( )

Quick, funny bedtime read for Middle Schooler or whole family. VERY clever. Witty gray tone watercolors by Jules Feiffer. ( )
