|  | Little Britches by Edward Shenton, Ralph Moody
Ralph Moody was eight years old in 1906 when his family moved to a Colorado ranch. Through his eyes we experience the pleasures and perils of ranching there at the dawn of the century. Auctions and roundups, family picnics, irrigation wars, tornadoes, and windstorms provide authentic color. So do adventures, wonderfully told, that prepare Ralph to take his father's place. The first volume of Moody's little Britches series, this time-tested favorite is hard to beat for its dreaming and refreshing account of family life . (Chicago Tribune) AUTHOR: Edward Shenton, Ralph Moody
