Written in the rhythm and spirit of Beat poetry, Hit the Road, Jack is an exuberant story of experiencing all the country has to offer with wide-eyed awe.Praise for Hit the Road, JackSTARRED REVIEW"It's not a biography or an introduction to Kerouac's work; instead, it's a tribute to his spirit and his era."-Publishers Weekly, starred review"MacDonald's 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..."-Booklist"Joining the ranks of such age- and genre-defying picture books.. is this homage to Jack Kerouac."-The 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."-Reading Today"The illustrations look like something out of a 1950s picture book, and everything - the poetry and the drawings - convey a sense of exuberance and excitement." -Wired's Geek Dad"Burleigh's writing has a wonderful rhythm and the book reads aloud beautifully."-Library Media Connection
