3rd grade teacher

This is one of my favorite books to read to my class. I act it out like a rodeo rider. In fact, at the end of the year I always have kids act out their favorite books and this book was acted out by a young man who is now an actor. When I went to watch him in a play this past winter he told me THIS book (he didn't remember the title of it) was the book that got him interested in acting. So, I had to order it for him as a gift.

White Dynamite and Curly Kidd

This book is AWESOME. Written with an authentic voice of the rodeo cowboy, yet delightful lyrics, rhythm and a surprise ending will enchant all readers.

Exciting and surprising!!!

White Dynamite and Curly Kid is a book that is as much fun to read as it is to listen to! The story is terrific, full of action and suspense as Curly Kid watches cowboys ride a fearsome bull known as White Dynamite! The ending is a surprise to all, as the reader learns that things aren't always as they seem.Zinthia Halaychik, Astatula, Florida
