Ethan is playing with his ball until it ends up in the gutter on the other side of the street. Since he isn't allowed to cross the street on his own, Ethan seeks help from an interesting cast of characters. They don't agree to help so he comes up with his own solution. From the verso page: 'Illustrations are three-color pre-separated wash and pencil drawings, reproduced in half-tone.'
Good picture book. Ethan is certainly a creative problem-solver!
