Time to see the road unwind And feel the wind blow free. "Hello, America! Here I come, From sea to shining sea!"
In this delightful picture book loosely inspired by Jack Kerouac's On the Road , a scat-singing, bebopping jackrabbit travels across the United States-from hopping on the subway in New York City to crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and exploring everything in between- to experience the wonders of the country. Hit the Road, Jack is an exuberant salute to the beauty and spirit of America.
