Customer Reviews

Terrific rhyme

A real pleasure to read, with vivid, bouncy rhyme and great illustrations. Jasper's encounter with the bear was a particular hit . A short, fun book -- parents take note!

Presents a humorous view of the California Gold Rush

Written in short, cryptic and perfectly rhymed and metered verse, Verla Kay's Gold Fever presents an amusing and authentic picture of the excitement and hardships of California's Gold Rush. The illustrations match the humorous text.

excellent book for entertaining and learning

After my kids and I read this book, we all had a lot of questions about the Gold Rush and wanted to learn more. We found it funny and interesting. It's one my kids want to read over and over- probably because of her rhymes. This book makes an excellent birthday present too!

Begs to be read aloud

Schindler's "scratchy" illustrations and Kay's sparse, effectual text unite to create a delightful picture book that begs to be read aloud. Add it to your library!

A pleasure to read!

With just enough words, --and not one too many, this book is "just right" and a pleasure to read. A fun-to-read picture book that gives a history lesson is hard to find -- don't miss this one!
