(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. From the point of view of both fictional and historical figures, sixteen vignettes sketch the history of the Alamo from the 1500s to modern times, with much focus on the famous battle. Some of the first-person prose-poems sparkle, but story-line gaps require readers to refer to the author's lengthy historical note. Realistic paintings accompany the text. Reading list. Bib., glos.
Reviewer: Tanya D. Auger
