The Adventures of Glibb Redundant Ken Blanton

This is a children's book about a boy 8 years old that lives on a farm close to a small mid-west town. He rides his new bicycle to school and has an incident with a skunk he hit with his bicycle. He empties his school due to the overwhelming skunk smell he brought into the school after meeting the skunk on his way to school.




He helps his friend overcome an older brother's peer pressure to play hooking and rides him to school on his bicycle. He falls asleep in the city library and dreams about the book he was reviewing for a report in his class and is awakened by the librarian with a glass of cold water. He has fun and interesting adventures, and this is the third such book of them.




His dad takes Glibb fishing most Saturday mornings, early at the pond on his dad's farm. His new friends from the big city went fishing with them last Saturday but cannot go fishing this Saturday as they are being punished for playing hooky from school the past week. Glibb is a good boy that sometimes does not make the correct decision. The Adventures of Glibb Redundant has a moral overtone in each of the adventures he has.
