Selzer Knows Kids

Young Andrew knows he is from a family of spies because his older brother told him so. Andrew can't wait to join his father and brother in the family spying business, which presumably means he needs to at least finish third grade. When a teacher confiscates the "calculator" Andrew borrowed from his brother, he is certain that catastrophic results may ensue -- like the Earth blowing up. Grade school readers -- especially boys -- will relate to Andrew North and his imagination. And if you think back on your elementary school days, you'll also relate to Andrew and his overactive, Thurberesque imagination.
