Rating: 5
Summary: Reprint this book! I'd buy ten copies for gifts.
Comment: 52 Stories and rhymes by Kathryn and Byron Jackson with over 100 pictures by Gustaf Tenggren (1948 copyright by Simon & Schuster). This is a 96 page, 10 x 13 inch Giant Golden Book with exceptionally good rhymes, stories and artwork. The two page illustrated poem, The Wildcat's Picnic was a favorite bedtime read aloud for my son. Using a family on a ranch as the main characters the 1-2 page stories are often told from the viewpoint of the little 6 year old boy named Jon, or his similarly aged indian friend Little Bear or his sister Susie. Some story titles: Cattle Rustlers, Ghost Town, The Calico Colt, Prairie Fire, The Tornado, Lazy River Ranch, Calf Branding, The Square Dance, Snowbound, The Totem Pole, The First Buffalo, Three Little Indians, Indian Housecleaning, The Nice Tipi, The Stampede, etc. There is a Chinese cook named "No Pow Wow, on a ranch also populated with Daddy and Mother, Grandpa sister Susie, and various ranch hands. This is a wonderful bedtime story book especially for 4-9 year olds. Many stories teach virtues, or reflect common values. A beautifully done book. I wish Applewood Books would take it on as a reprint project.

Summary: This book was one of two favorite books from my childhood.
Comment: Since I grew up in cowboy country during the late 40's and early 50's, I loved stories about children growing up on ranches and Indian children. As an adult, I shared this book with my own students, discussing with them not only how the way of life in the West has changed, but how attitudes and beliefs about minority groups, such as Native Americans, has changed. The pictures in this book are delightful. The stories and poems about everyday life in the West long ago provide a basis of interesting discussions in the elementary social studies classroom.
