Lately I've been on the prowl for vintage children's books, and when I spotted this 70s gem I couldn't resist. The TV Kid is a story about Lennie, a boy who daydreams all day long about his favorite shows like Let's Make A Deal and The Addams Family...that is, until he has a real-life adventure of his own that tops any on TV. I loved it mostly for Richard Cuffari's evocative illustrations. Sadly, the current edition looks to have lost them.

Oooh, I love that cover. What's the copyright year on the book, Alexa?
1976. And you can tell from the television references!
This sounds great! Wish I'd had this book when I was a kid!
