    About Like Jake and Me

    In this Newbery Honor—winning story from 1984, a new family builds a relationship as a stepfather and stepson celebrate their differences and take heart in their similarities.

    About Like Jake and Me

    Illus. in full color. "Timid Alex strives to be like his rugged cowboy stepfather, and the two find a common bond when Alex ‘rescues’ Jake from a wolf spider. Jukes’ quiet observations are unfaltering in their perceptiveness. Radiant full-page pastel illustrations serve as a striking counterpoint. This is an uplifting celebration of a new family’s understanding, acceptance and love that resonates with truth and humor."–(starred) School Library Journal.
