A Rip-snortin', Root-n-tootin' Good Story!

If your book selections have lately been lacking that certain SOMETHING...this just might be the right story to spice things up a bit.

This outrageously funny story combines cowboys, old fashioned home cookin', and a hungry creature from outer space.

Even though "The West Texas Chili Monster" by Judy Cox is sadly, already out of print, it is one of those easily overlooked books you should go out of your way to find and read.

Great for Thunderstorms!

The thunder is rumbling outside the library and we are due for a big thunderstorm this afternoon. If you want a great story to read during a thunderstorm, try "Jimmy Zangwow's Out-Of-This-World Moon Pie Adventure" by Tony DiTerlizzi (of Spiderwick fame). Meet the alien Grimble Grinder that "RUMBLE GRUMBLE!"s his way through the story. My kids love reading this one during storms to scare the loud thunder away. The louder you "RUMBLE GRUMBLE!" the sooner the storm passes.

This story will have you hunting every grocery store for Moon Pies!...Don't forget the milk!

How far would you go to get your favorite snack?
