Review:
Cowboy legends are often spun
sitting around camp fires out in the middle of wide open lands where the night
sky is bright with twinkling stars. The Legend and Adventures of Bob Wire stem
from stories generations old spun by ranchers, oilfield roughnecks, and leather
craftsman. Stories told over time can become bigger than when they were first
told. Each legend, at its core, has a life lesson weaved through it. The story
of Bob Wire is no different. Supposedly, Bob Wire’s mother was an Oklahoma
Chickasaw maiden. Some say she was a Louisiana belle from New Orleans. It’s
also rumored that his grandfather was Sam Houston, the seventh Governor of
Texas. Bob Wire would ride a black panther and used a rattlesnake for a whip.
He learned the oil business and would help when bad weather arose or when foes
showed up to rob or create havoc.
Author Sam Skinner’s legend
gets bigger and bigger as readers flip through the pages. Young readers will be
engaged with old fashioned illustrations that bring the main characters western
feel and his world to life. Simple sentences and familiar objects make for a
fun read.
