The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread

"The humor and pathos of World War II childhood are vividly brought to life in this absorbing reading of Don Robertson's novel. Told at a leisurely pace from the point of view of nine-year-old Morris Bird III, the story savors the atmosphere of small-town life in war-time America. Through adept dialogue the various characters and situations unfold in a natural manner without need of sound effects."-Booklist
