Jon Agee Comes to the Penguin Bookshop
Jon Agee is the author/illustrator of many books for children, including My Rhinoceros, Mr. Putney's Quacking Dog, Palindromania!, Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau, and Go Hang a Salami! His stories - of mysterious painters, hard luck magicians, guffawing grumps, and forgotten astronauts - have been called quirky, absurdist, and above all, humorous.
