Are you familiar with "Captain Kitty" a 1951 children's book by Godfrey Lynn and illustrator Elizabeth Webb? It was beloved from my childhood. Any family trips would end with reciting the story's tag: "I've been away, but I must say, that home looks good to me."

1. Gorillas.
2. DInosaurs.
3. Motorcycles.
4. A purple background .
5. The city in flames.
6. The hero weeping.
7. A direct question to the reader (What is the startling secret of the seventh superhero?. Etc.)
