Overview
Praise for Hit the Road, Jack
STARRED REVIEW
"Itās not a biography or an introduction to Kerouacās work; instead, itās a tribute to his spirit and his era."
āPublishers Weekly, starred review
"MacDonaldās golden-hued watercolors and pencil crayons present 1940s America as something of a paradise, with the neon diner signs and jazz clubs just as beautiful as the rolling hills and majestic mountains..."
āBooklist
"Joining the ranks of such age- and genre-defying picture books.. is this homage to Jack Kerouac."
āThe Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The book pays homage to Kerouac while encouraging a love of the country, writing and wanderlust through Jack."
āReading Today
"The illustrations look like something out of a 1950s picture book, and everything ā the poetry and the drawings ā convey a sense of exuberance and excitement.ā
āWired's Geek Dad
āBurleighās writing has a wonderful rhythm and the book reads aloud beautifully.ā
