Dennis the Menace Fun Book

Hank Ketcham’s irrepressible five-year-old whirlwind got a one-shot activity book from Halden and Fawcett in 1960, packed with puzzles, games, and the classic single-panel gags that defined the character. As a tie-in to the long-running newspaper strip, this issue offered young readers a hands-on way to play along with Dennis’s neighborhood misadventures. It’s a compact, charming artifact of the strip’s golden age, capturing Ketcham’s clean, expressive art and gentle mischief in a format built for fun.
