Great illustrations for a Great Story --- A great Author and A great Artist
This is another beautiful children's book illustrated by my favorite artist: Don Montileaux
The story is written by L Frank Baum, who wrote 'The Wizard of Oz.'
Baum lived in eastern South Dakota. This is a tale of rulers and leaders in a herd of buffalo.
Te recent fire in Custer State Park and Wind Cave made this story more poignant.
Brothers, Bullies and Bad Guys
This story is a fast read for kids. It moves along fast and gives good insights on how to survive if needed in a fanciful and fictional way. Mostly the rules are have enough change for vending machines, know how to drive a boat, maybe a car, ride a horse, there's a little love interest going on there too, not to mention saving the parents. I don't know how the author did this all in one book. Can't wait to read the sequel!
Enjoyable read
It was nice being able to see one of Baum's shorter works so beautifully illustrated. The language is at times a bit difficult for young readers, but I can see children being read to enjoying hearing it roll off the tongue.
The glossary at the back is a nice touch as is the introduction.
The story of the bully getting his comeuppance is a familiar one; however, the way story unfurls is distinctly different.
Unofficial Kindle book
