Mom of a 3rd Grade (son) & reluctant reader:
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This was the first book by son "begged" me to let him own. He connected with Buckskin Dan, the leader of the wagon train. The wonderful illustrations and flow of the rhyming text hooked him. My son declared Roy Gerrard to be "the most talented author and illustrator on Earth". (What mom could deny a pitch like that)?
