Scripted by prolific comics and children's writer Paul S. Newman, the work tells the fable of Jackie Paper and his magical dragon companion in picture book form, following their journeys across the land of Honalee and the imagination of childhood. Published in 1965 as Wonder Books No. 851 in arrangement w/ Trio Concerts, the story is told in color and monochrome illustrations, pairing Newman's lively narrative cadence w/ Tallarico's expressive character designs. Rooted in the 1960s American folk revival, the book brings together popular radio music and mass-market children's publishing, carrying the song's story of Jackie Paper and Puff to young readers of the era.…
