Beautiful Book

I purchased this book for my children this Christmas, and was just blown away by the illustrations. The detail is amazingly beautiful, and the story is very well written and developed. A definite must read each year now for our family.

A Gem of a Picture Book

My sister sent this beautiful book to my children for Christmas. It's a stunner with complex, rich sentences, lush illustrations, and a storyline that includes flashbacks, foreshadowing, frame tales, and developed characters. My children, ages 3 and 6, love it, too. My daughter noticed that the cover of the book resembles worn leather--she's right, and the effect is wonderful. We read the note from the author and learned new things about cowboys and settlers (which I won't give away here). Suffice it to say that from now on, we're sleeping with horse hair ropes around our bedding!

BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY GIFT

This is a touching story of perseverance and hope. I was looking for books to give as Christmas presents this year, and this really impressed me.
