Book Overview
Take your friends where you can find them! Old Granny is lonely, living way out in the country with no one to talk to. She's happy enough, though, as long as she has her beans. One night a thief climbs through the window of her little cabin while she's sleeping and steals her beans! Old Granny sets out to see the sheriff. Along the way, she meets an odd assortment of talking creatures: a snake, a pecan, a cow patty, a prickly pear cactus, and an alligator. Soon they've all befriended Old Granny, and joined forces to help her foil the thief in this humorous tale that glows with the bright, bold colors of the Southwest.

A riot!

I enjoyed reading this story to my kids as much as they enjoyed hearing it! I loved the fun, folksy storyline, while my kids loved how the "characters" caught the thief. My boys are 5 and 7 but I think the story would appeal equally to girls and kids a little younger or older. And if you don't believe me, just ask the cow patty. ;-)
