Synopsis
Born in November 1859 as William H. Bonney, Billy the Kid--as he soon became known--started his criminal career at the age of twelve by stabbing a man in a bar fight. He then moved on to stealing horses, gambling, participating in the Lincoln County War, and even perpetrating mass murder. Billy the Kid's extraordinary exploits were followed in newspapers around the country, and his legend reached epic heights. Garrett, the Sheriff of Lincoln County and Billy's ultimate arbiter of justice, provides an incredible, firsthand account of the small-town kid who became a killer in The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid. Written just eight months after killing Billy in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, during a happenstance meeting in the home of Pete Maxwell, this fascinating, sensational book takes us play-by-play through Billy's life. From his earliest days in New York and eventual move west to his adventures in Mexico and repeated arrests and escapes, this original account tells all.Editorials
Children's Literature -
The subtitle refers to this board book as "A First Word Book." It seems to follow the cycle during a child's day. First there is the task of getting dressed and items such as socks, hat, and boots are among the items pictured and labeled. Certain items are also textured, like the bow on a dress and the vinyl of the boots. Food items include a banana, milk, apple, and utensils which have a shiny silvery look. Toys are next, including a squishy ball, fuzzy teddy bear, truck, and crayons. In the backyard there is plenty to play with and the book has a couple of flaps to open. Now the day winds down with a bath accompanied by a soft towel and, just to finish up the day, a good book just before bedtime. Curious Buddies are there on every page—helping and watching. For kids who enjoy these characters the books will be a treat. Reviewer: Marilyn CourtotBook Details
