I like the old-fashioned quality of this 1957 (First American Edition) published book and the story with the lobsters (p. 23). Doesn't swing like Count, but not many do. Plus, borrowed from the Red Bank Public Library, so that makes it special--listen to "Red Bank Boogie" and "The Kid from Red Bank."
