Voices of the Alamo

40 pp. | Scholastic | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-590-98833-6 $$16.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. Sixteen vignettes trace the history of the Alamo from the 1500s to modern times, with much of the focus on the famous battle. At times, the first-person prose-poems sparkle, as in Davy Crockett's self-description: "I can wade the Mississippi, leap the Ohio, and ride upon a streak of lightning." However, story-line gaps require readers to refer to the author's lengthy historical note. Realistic watercolor and gouache paintings complement the text.
