School Book Review
Did you ever bringhome a lot of turtles? I read a book about a man who took home a lot turtles. The title is The Great Turtle Drive by Steve Sanfield. This book is about a man making turtle soup. I like this book because I like turtles and I like it because it is funny. I think the authoris trying to tell you that you can't have everything you want to have. You can read this book to see if he makes the turtle soup he wants.

Will Not Survive Library Use
Review By Robert Young, Lane ESD
Recommended for school and community library collections
Why The West Was Wild by Wayne Swanson is a combination history and picture book for intermediate level young readers who are eager to learn more about the tumultuous days of North America's history when thieves ran rampant, gamblers swindled at will, and heated disputes were often as not settled with bullets and the smell of gunsmoke. Black-and-white as well as color illustrations and photographs nicely bring to life this fascinating survey which devotes a two-page spread of basic information to a wide variety of topics including Old West Boomtowns, Cavalry, Range Wars, Indian Wars, and much more. A highly recommended title for school and community library collections, Why The West Was Wild is also available in soft-cover format. ... Read more

a children's classic
A wonderful story, both hilarious and lyrical at the same time.Slim, Jimand Grimsley are three rough tough bronco busters who can't break the blackpony.Only the little boy who talks to the horse, plays the harmonica forhim and explains the mysteries of a saddle and a bridle can turnhim intoa friend. Great holiday present that subtly introduces the concept ofpeace not war, persuasion not coercion.Only picture book in a long timethat both me and my husband loved as much as our children! ...

A favorite.....
I absolutely love this book.As a girl, I was raised reading Walt's books as he's my grandfather's cousin.Must support family, you know, but this book taught me to love Walt's work and the genre.Grandfather told me that this book is spot-on for anyone interested in knowing what it was like growing up on the frontier in the late 1800's.This is far more than a simple story, this his Walt's history.Hell, it's OUR history.Bravo!

ain't seed nothin' like it before
You never say you read an exciting western story without trying out this hit from Walt. He knew about the west well enough to be able to portray it in writing, and this is truely where he showed it in. ... Read more
