Shooting for the Moon: The Amazing Life and Times of Annie Oakley

32 pp. | Farrar/Kroupa | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-374-36843-0 $$17.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bernie Fuchs. This biography of the legendary sharpshooter, who attained great celebrity after knowing terrific poverty, achieves an impressive level of intimacy with its subject, no doubt because it was informed by Oakley's own writings. The impressionistic paintings, executed in sepia tones, are evocative of old-time photos.
