Buffalo Bill and the Pony Express | |
~From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3?This easy reader relates the adventures of 16-year-old Bill Cody as he goes to work for the Pony Express. He is chased by thieves, caught in terrible weather, and stalked by wolves, none of which are mentioned in his letters home. The story is fast paced, exciting, and filled with terrific illustrations. Bolognese's use of heavy black outlined figures, often surrounded only by a large expanse of white page, is very effective. Unfortunately, a serious error appears. Bill travels from Red Buttes to Three Crossings station. When he arrives, he's told that a rider is sick and he needs to ride an additional 75-mile stretch. The text then states that, "Seven hours later, Bill made it to Three Crossings." Readers are bound to be perplexed by this statement and will be shuffling back through the pages to see what they missed. Too bad.?Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID

From Booklist
Gr. 2^-4. Lots of pictures in warm tones, generous leading, and a page layout that allows usually no more than seven words on a line will encourage kids ready for beginning chapter books to give this Old West yarn a try. Of course, the adventures of 15-year-old Billy (based on legends associated with Buffalo Bill) will be the real draw, especially for boys. The characters are definitely stereotyped in both text and artwork, but there's plenty of adventure as Billy outrides Indians who want to steal his pony, scares off a pack of vicious wolves, and outsmarts the local bad guy, Terrible Tod.

很多书是亚马逊买的，质量好是正版，
This book is about the Pony Express. It tells about Bill's first adventures on the Pony Express. At first I thought the book was boring, but then it got exciting. The interesting things are Bill's being chased by Indians, the shootout with Terrible Todd, and the wolf pack ambush.
I felt I learned virtually everything about the Pony Express. For instance, it is an early traditional form of mail transportation. I learned when Bill joined the Pony Express and when he stopped. I am glad to have learned about the Pony Express, although I would like to get a more exciting book with more action next time.
I recommend Buffalo Bill and the Pony Express for kids who are six or seven years old. I would like to find a book on this subject that is better for nine year olds.
I bought this for my 7 year old and he enjoyed it so much that wanted to reread it a couple of months later. He discovered what it feels like to have a book "stick with you". Great story, interesting events, memorable characters - his favorite parts are Buffalo Bill's letters to his mom (read it, you'll get it).
We read just before bed and the level 4 books don't push him too hard (level 5's are a bit too much for just before bed) just hard enough that he is learning words, inferences, remembering characters and events, and learning to love reading stories - all the things I want him to take away from these books.
5 stars well deserved.
Great book for my 1st grader's first book report. It is long enough to be a chapter book, but not so long that he lost interest in it. It was easy for him to read.
Love it! My 7 year old son, who spends his days wishing he was riding a horse, loved this book and read it in one sitting. I would definitely recommend! I only wish they had more like this...
I love the book. Really enjoyed reading it. I bought it for my grandson , who just turned 10 years old
