THE BEST TOWN IN THE WORLD
by Byrd Baylor. Beautiful and warm watercolor illustrations by Ronald Himler. Condition: NEW 1993 Macmillian soft cover, second printing. I can't believe this book was published in 1993 - too crisp - but that's what it says. A school supplemental book. Content: In this book, the dogs are smarter, wildflowes grow taller, and the chocolate cake is tastier. Baylor's delightfully nostalgic sotry of the Texas hill country finds it perfect complement and extensio in Himler's warm, glowing pictures. Reviewer: "What a sweet book! And not syruppy either. In this book, children talk about their father's hometwon-- the best town in the world, where food tastes better and everything is better. The children obviously believe their father had a wonderful time growing up, but also question some of his "bests"--for example, they refuse to believe ice cold creeks are the best to swim in. Even though I'm from a very different sort of place, this book reminded me of my own childhood and how many of the "bests" we experienced growing up can never be bettered--and never be fully understood by others who had their own "bests." What a great book!" Questions welcome. [1 copy available]

The simple South Texas Christmas tale is printed in both English and Spanish, allowing for several different bilingual reading opportunities. Let’s welcome Santa’s newest helper: his cousin Pancho, a farmer living down in South Texas who is so smart he speaks both Spanish and English. Back in the day, Pancho was a mariachi singer with a whole lot of style and a fancy sombrero. But as the years passed, Pancho got, well, a little older and a little wider all around. Then one night his primo Santa Claus showed up. Santa needed some help along the US/Mexico border. Pancho volunteered. And then, poof, Santa transformed Pancho into the resplendent Charro Claus with his incredible Flying Burritos. And Charro Claus, it turns out, even had his own surprise elf—his nephew Vincente! All Christmas Eve, Vincente and Pancho deliver toys to the boys and girls on the border. Neither rain, cloudy skies, wire fences, or concrete walls keep them from covering every inch of their newly assigned territory. And they don’t forget a single town or city. How could they? The border is their home. A native of the Rio Grande Valley, Xavier Garza is a prolific author, artist, teacher, and storyteller. It's a hoot! All ages.Questions welcome. [1 copy available]

by Debbie Leland. Clever, fun color illustrations by Ann Hollis Rife. Condition: UNREAD, but lightly perused on the shelf, 2000 Wildflower Run hardcover (pictorial boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), first edition, 6th printing. Very light edge wear to top DJ edge at spine. If you liked Aggie Goose, you will love this book as well.

JUNETEENTH JAMBOREE (Texas Holiday)
by Carole Boston Weatherford. Lively & engaging color illustrations by Yvonne Buchanan. Condition: UNREAD c. 1998 Lee & Low hard cover (pictorial boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), first edition, second printing. Very light shelf wear to DJ top edge. Content: Starring a likable girl named Cassandra, Weatherford's debut introduces readers to Juneteenth, which commemorates the events of June 19, 1865. On that day Texas slaves learned about their emancipation-an astonishing two and a half years after Lincoln signed the proclamation. Cassandra, newly moved to Texas, doesn't know about the holiday-her parents and other relatives are cooking, dancing and dressing up a storm, all the while telling her to expect a surprise (the only hint is that it's a Texas tradition). She is duly astonished by the rousing Juneteenth celebration, with its shows, parade, crafts and cheerful spectators. Although wordy, the enthusiastic text allows readers to discover-and celebrate-the holiday along with Cassandra. But the larger treat is newcomer Buchanan's loose pen-and-ink and watercolor art. Festive and full of mirth, her fluid, motion-packed lines put a visible spring in her characters' steps, and her palette is as summery as lemonade and blue skies. Ages 4-8. [2 copies available]

THE LADY IN THE BLUE CLOAK: Legends from the Texas Missions
by Eric A. Kimmel. Beautiful soft color illustrations by Susan Guevara. Condition: NEW 2006 Holiday hardcover & DJ (in mylar jacket), first printing. Content: Each of these six selections opens with a full-page illustration that captures the heart of its story. The gorgeous oil paintings are filled with light and religious imagery befitting the legends. In this picture book, Kimmel collects stories from the Texas missions that were built during Spain's colonial rule. In the title tale, a Spanish nun appears in realistic visions to a group of Tejas Indians; in "Rosa's Window," a Spanish artisan leaves his sweetheart behind to travel to Texas, where he will help build mission churches; and in "The Christmas Vine," a priest helps a young boy choose an offering for Jesus. The short stories flow easily, but they present a mostly uncritical picture of the Christian mission experience (bringing "these new Christians closer to God"), and the narrow viewpoint may jar readers seeking a more balanced portrayal of colonists and indigenous people. However, there are very few collections of these stories available for the age group, and the mysticism, faith, and magic--captured in reverential oil paintings bordered with angels, saints, and other religious imagery--will resonate with some children, particularly Catholics and Texans, for whom the symbolism and history may be more familiar. An introduction offers more background, and an afterword cites sources. Wonderful! [3 copies available.]

MISS LADY BIRD'S WILDFLOWERS: How A First Lady Changed America
by Kathi Appelt. Beautiful, vivid color illustrations by Joy Fisher Hein - especially the fields of Bluebonnets. Condition: NEW 2005 HarperCollins hardcover (pictorial boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), first edition, 9th printing. Content: Causes celebres are as commonplace among First Ladies as red suits and pearls, but few are as accessible to children as the wildflower-planting campaigns of Lady Bird Johnson. Appelt traces Johnson's botanical passions to her rural, East Texas childhood, finding parallels between the solace her subject drew from nature after her mother's death and her launch of the Highway Beautification Act to soothe a nation grieving for JFK. Psychological correlations of this sort appear throughout, and Appelt doesn't provide specific evidence to back them up; however, source citations for quotations and bibliographic resources are listed. Children will pore enthusiastically over Hein's riotous, millefleur landscapes, each bloom so meticulously rendered that bluebells can be distinguished from bluebonnets by using the identification key provided. This is ideally suited for children lucky enough to attend schools where gardens are part of the curriculum; elsewhere, a stroll through Hein's stunning gouache meadowlands may be the next best thing. An endnote describes the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center that Johnson founded in 1982. Questions welcome. [1 copy available]

PECOS BILL
retold and illustrated by Steven Kellogg. Color illustrations. Condition: UNREAD 1987 Mulberry soft cover, first printing. tiny edge wear. Content: The anecdotes associated with Texas' fabled cowboy hero burst from the pages in rapid succession, Kellogg's robust illustrations enlarging and enriching the choppy, energetic text that is seasoned with Texan expressions. In dramatizing Pecos Bill's life story, Kellogg also conveys a sense of place, of the rugged, expansive physical beauty of the American West in pioneer days. Yellow-oranges and blues dominate the scenes, in tones that range from dust-pale to midnight blue. Skillful framing and alternating of perspectives enhance readers' involvement: vast panoramas in which people are dwarfed by endless stretches of land and sky; double-page spreads cluttered with close-up action; breathtaking overviews, as of a tremendous herd of cattle, each steer made distinct, yet part of a near-monochromatic blend of hazy light and animal landscape. In contrast to these lavish illustrations are neatly-boxed illustrations that parallel the text, sometimes spilling from the frames when the action simply can't be contained. Kellogg's style is ideally suited to this tall taleantic, detailed, colorful, hyperbolic. K-5. Questions welcome. [1copy available]

SANTA CALLS
written & illustrated by William Joyce. Vivid & adorable color illustrations. Condition: Very Good 1993 HarperCollins large hardcover and DJ (price-clipped & in mylar jacket), first edition, first printing. The only problem with the book: gift inscription loose endpage. Content: Set in 1908 Abilene, Texas, it is the story of orphan Art Atchinson Aimesworth, his friend Spaulding Littlefeets and his sister Esther. One Christmas Eve Art receives a mysterious box and a summons to come to the North Pole -- signed "S.C." Intrigued (to say the least!), Art and his cohorts construct the machine inside the box and fly off to visit Santa, where adventures await them, Mr. and Mrs. Claus greet them, and Art renews his love for his sister. There is a surprise ending that lets us know that Santa and Esther have been in cahoots all along. [William Joyce is a magnificent illustrator. If you've ever happened to catch one of his covers for the New Yorker then you know what I'm talking about. Joyce has a style all his own. His pictures are curvy and lit with subtle variations. He's so accomplished that when he draws a gigantic character with just a tiny black dot of an eye, that character appears warm and inviting rather than scary and intimidating. As an artist, he is probably one of the best living today.] Questions welcome. [1 copy available]

SIRENA OF SALADO (Signed by Author)
by Jackie Mills. B&W illustrations by the Author. Condition: SIGNED by Author on Title page. UNREAD c. 1991 Taylor/Indian Trails hardcover (pictorial boards - no DJ issued), assumed first edition. Content: Indian legend has it, that a giant magical catfish once swam in Salado's ever-flowing creek. The catfish coaxed an Indian maiden into becoming a mermaid to swim with him by the light of the full moon. In exchange, the catfish promised to cast a love spell on a Brave that the Indian maiden wanted for her own. An ageless legend that deals with choices and outcomes. Spanish explorers misnamed the creek that runs through the village of Salado. The Spanish word "salado" means salt, but Salado Creek is not salty. Could the Spanish have had in mind the salty tears of Sirena when they named the creek? Ages 8 - 12. Questions welcome. [1 copy available]

SUSANNA OF THE ALAMO: A True Story
by John Jakes. Beautiful color illustrations and maps by Paul Bacon. Condition: Gently pre-read 1987 HBJ hardcover (pictorial boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), first printing. Name loose end page. No major problems; just pre-read. Content: Beautifully designed and carefully researched, this conveys the dramatic true story of a woman who survived the massacre at the Alamo. It enables children to place themselves within a historical event. It focuses on the only survivor of the tragic Alamo fight, Susanna Dickinson and her infant daughter. The story is told from her point of view which gives the children today the ability to understand the fight as it was unfolding. Historically accurate but incomplete - the lives of Susanna and her daughter were anything but a bed of roses - but not a story for young children to read. Also, Mrs. Dickinson and her daughter were NOT the only survivors of the Alamo. As I recall there were somwhere between 16 and 20 survivors. The Dickinsons were the only Anglo survivors. Ages 4 - 8.

Learn about . . TEXAS INDIANS
by George Zappler. Art Director Elena Ivy. B&W illustrations and maps (by whom?) suitable for coloring. Condition: NEW 1996 Texas Parks & Wildlife/Univ. of Texas Press soft cover, no printing given. 50 pages. Content: Here is an entertaining and educational activity book for children from six to twelve on the always-popular topic of American Indians--except that the subject has been narrowed to only those Native Americans known to have lived in the Lone Star State. Eye-catching line drawings invite children to color a wide assortment of scenes from the diverse lives of the many different groups of Indians native to Texas. The settings in the first part of the book range from the mammoth- and bison-hunting Paleo-Indians of over 11,000 years ago to the various nomadic and agricultural groups encountered by sixteenth-century Spanish explorers. Further drawings reflect changes over the centuries as Indian lifeways were forever altered and often destroyed due to contact with white newcomers who all claimed their land. In addition to the many drawings, a number of fun-filled and challenging games help build youngsters' Indian knowledge. The book also includes a 17" by 22" coloring poster perfect for home or classroom display. Excellent for homeschooling. Ages 9 - 12. [1 copy available]

THE TREE THAT WOULD NOT DIE
by Ellen Levine. Wonderful color illustrations by Ted Rand. Condition: UNREAD 1995 Scholastic hardcover & DJ (in mylar jacket), first printing. Content: Told in the first person from the viewpoint of the Treaty Oak, a 400-year-old oak tree that was poisoned in 1989, this picture book chronicles American history from the seemingly narrow perspective of what the tree might have seen. And it saw plenty: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Levine handles the difficulties of persona and time frame with grace, using sensory details to give immediacy to the quickly shifting scenes. Beginning with the acorn sprouting into a seedling, the tree tells of the birds and buffalo it shaded and the first people, who met beneath its branches. Later the Spaniards came, then Stephen Austin, who is said to have made peace with the Indians at the "Treaty Oak," as it is now known. The tree saw pioneers clear and plant the fields, watched Texans locate their new capital on the land, and hid an escaped slave in its branches. Cowboys herded their cattle nearby. Railroads, paved roads, and telephone poles crossed the land. People who lost their jobs during the Depression slept under the tree. Threatened by modern developers, the land around the tree was made into a park. Children will feel wrenched by the tree's poisoning but heartened by the outpouring of love, prayers, poems, and money to help save the Treaty Oak. Beautifully designed and painted, the artwork records the growth of the tree and the drama of unfolding history in a series of engaging spreads. Particularly effective are the scene-within-a-scene pictures of the young tree and the use of black pages for the poisoning. [Note: the man who poisioned the tree was mentally unstable at the time and in line with ideas of justice in our state, the DA and others wanted to give this man (who had been in jail twice for check fraud only) life in prison on the three-strikes program for the damage to the tree. He finally received 9 years for his crime.] Ages 6 - 9. [1 copy available]
