Fun, informative companion to Loco for Lizards

Dave Walker explores an icon that's appeared in an amazing array of nutty places throughout contemporary culture. He keeps it light, but provides solid information, just as in the publisher's companion book, Loco for Lizards by Jim Cherry. Like that book, this one is great casual reading, well written enough to be enjoyed by anyone, even if you didn't think you were curious about the subject.

whimsical narrative of the ancient and modern Kokpelli

Dave Walker gives you a modern twist on the ancient myth turned recent Southwest icon. The author also offers you some illustrations of the modern marketing of the Kokopelli. Overall, the book is fun and easy reading. A good book for a day in the park, ride on an airplane or just a lazy day!
