Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch by Anne Isaacs, Kevin Hawkes

4.0

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.
