"The illustrations were done in watercolor"--Title page verso.
The year is 1908, and a troupe of vaudeville performers has arrived in sleepy Muskegon, Michigan to spend the summer. Young Henry Harrison is fascinated with the animals and performers, but mostly with a slapstick performer his own age named Buster Keaton, who is also a master prankster and loves to play baseball.

Buster Keaton in Muskegon submitted by amy on June 22, 2014, 12:39pm If you've ever been to Muskegon or you like Buster Keaton, give this the 30 minutes it takes to wander through.
beautiful illustrations submitted by kmaforester on July 30, 2014, 3:30pm Matt Phelan's soft colors, light hues, and sketched lines transport the reader back to another time full of vaudeville shows, and a young Buster Keaton. For any native or person familiar with Muskegon, it's worth looking through.
Pretty Good Book submitted by kmartx on June 14, 2019, 1:05pm It's a really good book, but it doesn't have many words.
