K-326 Fairmount Avenue Book series.
In its fifth volume now, dePaola's autobiographical early-independent-reader series takes the budding artist into his seventh year. Although less well focused than its predecessors, this latest re-creates the joys of sledding, the dangers of polio, and the glories of the Ferris wheel. Faux entries from Tomie's diary head each chapter and pepper the text; the last entry, dated December 7, 1941, gives the book its title.
