Henry King "Hank" Ketcham was an American cartoonist who created the Dennis the Menace comic strip, writing and drawing it from 1951 to 1994, when he retired from drawing the daily page and took up painting full time in his studio at his home. He received the Reuben Award for the strip in 1953. The strip continues today in the hands of other artists.
I've read this book many times and laugh out loud and smile every time I read it! Dennis is just so very innocent and just does what he sees, hears or worse yet thinks up all by himself! : )
