Effie Leland Wilder

G K Hall & Co, 1997

I loved this book!
I am no where near "Out To Pasture" but I found this novel to be delightful. This book has the oddest group of senior citizens you will ever run across. Filled with both serious and light situations this book will make you cry and then laugh. Effie Wilder teaches us that just because you are older your life is still full and the possibilities are endless. Way to go Effie!!

The Next Best Thing Than Being There Assisting Dr. McCormack
I own the hardback copy of this book...actually I have owned it for a few years now. It is one of those books that become a literary treasure in your bookcase. I was so hooked on this book when I first got it, I read it from cover to cover in one day...I just couldn't put it down! Dr. McCormack in the US can be likened to James Herriott of England. His stories of animals that he treated and the ...

The Untold Story of Milk: Green Pastures, Contented Cows and Raw Dairy Products

Ron Schmid

NewTrends Publishing, Inc., 2003

Real Milk Returns
Schmid very carefully tells the history of milk and once you are informed you will be sickened by current "legal" dairy practices. If you have ever driven by large dairies (especially in Idaho) and inhaled the stink of confined cows and observed the mud and filth they live in this book is a must read. Rock on "Real Milk".

Great Tale
This is a simple but valuable story, presented with rich illustrations. The pictures really do make the book. Kids love it.

John Steinbeck

Library of America, 1994

Some pretty amazing Steinbeck magic
This volume contains some of the earlier works of John Steinbeck. Steinbeck was a master of the English language and had the talent of using the least amount of words to convey the greatest amount of emotions. His stories are moving without being cheap. He is compassionate and had keen insight into his characters and the world at large. Reviewing each story that appears in this volume is beyond ...

Jujo: Of the Jungle

Mark Ludy

Green Pastures Publishing, Inc, 2007

A Study for the Young in Culture
Mark Ludy's book, JuJo, is a about "The Youngest Tribesman." Jujo must face a rite of passage, a concept rather unfamiliar to most young people in western civilizations. It is a fine introduction to Africa and to tribes with cultures different from our own. It is entertaining, a great adventure story that includes enough animals to keep any young child interested. And the artwork and quality of ...

Mr. Matott is cool
I liked when Mr. Matott visited my school. My teacher reads his books to us and this is my best. I hope he writes twenty more books.

The Flower Man

Green Pastures Publishing, Inc, 2005

I should get a commission; I've recommended it so often.
The Flower Man caught my retired pre-kindergarten teacher's eye on a bookstore shelf, and after finding the artwork delightfully intriguing, I realized the story was "right up my alley." I bought it. When I sat down at home to really "read" its picture-stories, I realized this was no quick-read. I followed most of the characters, one at a time, through successive pages, seeing their ...

Wonderful Grump
I had the opportunity to get my hands on a copy of this book and I must say that the story is wonderful. The illustrations are some of the richest I have ever seen in a children's book. My favorite part of this book is how delightful searching for the mouse is. I understand that this is a signature illustration of Mr.Ludy's books and I must say after having handed this book around my work, ...

Wisdom and the Millers: Proverbs for Children

Mildred A. Martin

Green Pastures Press, 1990

Kids LOVE it
This book is a compilation of short stories or chapters that each involve one or more of the Miller family children. Each story presents a life lesson learned by one or more of the kids, usually as the result of an "ordinary" childlike infraction (feuding, disobedience, neglecting duties, etc.). Then, we see one or both of the parents gently but appropriately correcting the matter, typically ...

Andy Lee, Patricia Foreman

Good Earth Publications, 2002

This fowl book hits a home run!
I just finished Day Range Poultry and am thoroughly impressed. They not only tell you what Day Range is, but compare it to other methods of raising birds listing the pros and cons of each. If you want to start raising birds, especially large numbers of birds, everything is here, in detail. How to set up a Day Range system for broilers, layers, and turkeys, including shelters, what worked and ...

The Deer Pasture

Rick Bass

W. W. Norton & Company, 1996

More than just a deer hunting book
Rick Bass is not your typical hunter, and The Deer Pasture is not your typical hunting story. An admitted "tree hugger," Bass uses his family deer lease as the setting for a narrative essay that deals with everything from hunting ethics and wildlife conservation to family values and romantic love. His observations on Texas Hill Country society (including the dogs--especially the dogs) are ...

When I was a Girl, I Dreamed...
What a fantastic book! I purchased, "When I was a Girl, I Dreamed..." to read and donate to my daughter's 2nd grade class. The children were ohhhing and ahhhing about the "dreams" as well as the beautiful illustrations. They were all intrigued. Even the boys were not disappointed. When I finished reading, the children were all asking to be the first to borrow the book from the school's ...

Mary Oliver

Harcourt, 1995

M. Oliver speaks the absolute truth in only "A Few Words".
Whatever you believe to be the truth you must read this book. Mary tugged at my heart so intently that I broke down and cried. She seems to possess a consciousness that eludes much of humanity and I wonder how did we let that happen. Mary offers no answers, but she stimulates thought and hopefully her writing will lead her readers to perhaps even conscious thought. I will read this book over ...

Gordon Baxter

Tab Books, 1988

I almost knew him
How do I describe the inital collection of the best of Baxter? I first obtained mine direct from Bax himself and I have a nice note in his own hand. Regardless, if you like Bax Seat over the years, this is one to get, keep, and re-read occaisionally. His stories about the 'houn Dog' and his Mooney stories, learning to fly IFR, stearmans, night fright, and all the other classics will keep you ...

The First Pasture: A Korean-American Pastor's Poetic Reflection

Heerak Christian Kim

AuthorHouse, 2003

A wonderful collection of touching poems
Each poem in this wonderful collection is filled with soul-stirring thoughts and emotions. Not only are Rev. Kim's poems thought-provoking, they truly fill the reader's senses and leave him/her eagerly anticipating the next one. It can be seen from the poems that the author truly loves the "First Pasture". I highly recommend reading this inspirational work of art.

The Pastures of Beyond: An Old Cowboy Looks Back at the Old West

5 reviews
Dayton O. Hyde

Arcade Publishing, 2005

Authentic and haunting
If you love the old west, this book is a "must read." It is very well-written, with poignancy, wry observations and reflections on a life full of unforgettable horses, people, and places. Hauntingly beautiful and a reminder of how much we have lost, it was impossible to put down. Dayton Hyde has captured a part of our country's history that is too quickly slipping away.
