Love to think little books used to be $0.25. Simple story, Sergeant Preston is after some bad guys who stole furs, saves someone along the way. With the help of Yukon king they track the bad guys down.
"The trail would be as clear to him with his keen scent as though it had been carefully marked."
What impresses me is how good good guys were at shooting and hitting a gun out of a bad guys hand. ...more

Love the level of detail in the pictures which makes a fun treasure hunt of details. Story good, and would be good to spark conversations if there really was a Django, or maybe it was the child? Glad I have it in my personal library, now I just need a grandchild to read it to.
I would say look at and read this book from your library or bookstore, but definitely buy Black Dog. I feel like this author is just getting started, and look forward to future books from him....more
I am giving this 4 stars because of comparisons to other books, my likeability of it, and how much I would want to read it again.

I loved the authors book, 'Black Dog' and wanted to get the rest of Levi's books. This one has great details in the drawings that will be fun to pour over, but not as many layers of interesting details as the other book Black Dog.
Like the other book, there is interesting discussions to be had when reading it with children, about why people at first would get upset, how we should deal with upset people, and when the people seemed to be lulled into happiness, is that all there is and thoughts about that...
The verse is great. The story is very different and fanciful but fun. So I recommend it, but wouldn't go shout from the rooftops to buy it like I would with Black Dog....more
