What a fantastic find! The pencil drawings are warm and provide a lovely touch to an otherwise entirely self-supporting story.

As John Wesley Powell buff, I wish I had paid more attention when ordering. This is a well written childs book about Powell.             The Cat: Or, How I Lost Eternity1 review Jutta Richter Milkweed Editions, 2007 Not a great book. I bought this on the strength of an Amazon recommendation for my 9 year old son, who is cat crazy. He read it, but wasn't fascinated. It is rather obscure and dry, without being all that interesting or amusing. Maybe it would be a better fit for an older girl.             Many Rides Of Paul Revere1 review James Cross Giblin Scholastic Press, 2007 Many Rides of Paul Revere Giblin, James Cross.
