Birchman, David F., — Jigsaw Jackson.

NY, Lothrop Lee & Shepart, (1996). 1st ed 1st ptg. VG in VG DJ. Way up in Saponac, Maine, there once lived a young potato farmer named J. Jupiter Jackson. Once winter comes there's not. a whole lot for a potato farmer to do. He played checkers with the plow horse, read stories to the chickens and the barn mice, and listened to opera recordings with his pet mynah bird. And fixed things. Then along came a jigsaw-puzzle maker. Soon Jupiter leaves with Mr. McShaker's puzzle wagon down the eastern seaboard to become a Wild West Circus star. But then a puzzle piece disappears, the tip of George Washington's nose. Magnificently funny illustrations.
