Old Texas cowboy Zeke is looking forward to a hot bowl of chili, but to get it, he must get his newly purchased steer into the corral. By enlisting the help of a collie, a mesquite stick, a campfire, a javelina, a burro, a prickly pear cactus, an armadillo, a pretty gal and a mockingbird, he finally gets his dinner - but not without the possibility of the antics starting all over again!

Told in the author's inimitable native Texan voice, this humorous story makes for great read-aloud fun. The book is full of colorful vocabulary reflecting the Southwest region and encourages children to follow along with its repetition of objects, animals and actions.

The story of the Alamo encompasses far more than the thirteen-day siege that ended in a battle on March 6,1836.  In this groundbreaking work, that story begins in the 1500s with the Native Americans who inhabited the area we now call Texas.  Page by page, different voices are heard - among them Spanish, Tejano, Texian, Mexican and American.  These are the men and women across the centuries who shaped the history of the land, and through their voices a poignant human drama unfolds.

Acclaimed author Sherry Garland and master artist Romald Himler have joined to gether to create a provocative book that sensitively depicts history through the perspectives of the people who lived it.
