The Monster in the Third Dresser Drawer: And Other Stories About Adam Joshua
by: Janice Lee Smith / Dick Gackenbach

Hardcover. NY, Harper & Row, 1st, 1981, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 86 pages. Adam Joshua can't understand why his parents want to move. He certainly doesn't! Who will his best friend Peter get to collect ants with, or to play star commander and Frankenstein if he's gone? Moving. Muck! But moving is just the beginning of a whole series of new events for Adam Joshua. There's also a new baby sister, monsters in the night, loose teeth, new friends, dinners with his Great-Aunt Emily, and lots more. Janice Lee Smith humorously chronicles the ups and downs in the life of a small boy, and Dick Gackenbach perfectly captures Adam Joshua's spunk and spirit in his delightful drawings.
