Illustrated by
Cynthia Fisher.
Gramps won't tell Jack where they're going, but he does provide hints. He says they might see monkeys, or knights, or dinosaurs. At last they reach the library, and Jack realizes this is the source for many adventures. Although the story is a bit didactic, the illustrations provide both humor and clues to the destination, as Jack imagines the things they'll see.
