Meanwhile, Back At The Ranch (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

This book is a great example of a picture book that should be used with older children. This book is full of exaggerations and plays on words that older children will understand and appreciate that youngers won't. It's also a longer picture book and needs to have an audience that can stay with it.The Widow Tulip Jones of England has recently inherited $35 million and a ranch in Texas. Off she goes and the hilarity starts when thousands of Texan bachelors come to win her hand in marriage. The text and illustrations work together so well. You have to look carefully at the illustrations to see the ways it compliments and adds to what is happening in the story. *Hyperbole; Texas themedVery humorous tale of an English widow who inherits thirty-five million dollars and a Texas ranch. Tulip Jones decides to move to Texas with her twelve pet tortoises and three servants for ranch hands. When news of the rich widow spread through the land one thousand Texas suitors decended upon the ranch intent on marrying widow Jones. Through many high jinxs and catastropes, only one man is able to win her heart. I loved this story-typical of stretching the truth a bit Texas style. Just the way we like it!
