(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Laura Bannon. This Newbery Honor Book includes nineteen tall tales that detail the exploits of super-cowboy Pecos Bill in the American West. The stories were originally told at round-ups and around campfires, and Bowman's writing exemplifies the gusto and broad humor of cowboy life. Strong-lined black-and-white drawings illustrate the tales.
