When Pioneer Wagons Rumbled West door Christine Graham
Chris Graham, wife of Fred Graham PHC
This is a cute little story based on the Mother Goose rhyme, "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater" with some Jack and the Beanstalk elements. Peter Peter and his wife Wanda raise pumpkins and are content to live with their pumpkins and goat. But when the rains come, their poor little hut begins to leak and Peter Peter knows he must do something to fix their house. He sells their goat for treasure, but it looks like he's been cheated....until they have a marvelous harvest!
Verdict: The soft pencil illustrations fit in perfectly with this quirky and odd little story and there's plenty of nonsense reminiscent of the original rhyme. Some of the names "bingbang trees" are unnecessarily cute and the style has the slightly stilted flavor of an easy reader, rather than a beginning chapter book, but children that like nonsense stories will enjoy this little story.

It tells a story of how those little robbers share their talents to get what they want, and they also share their stuff with a small, poor little woman sitting in the dark corner of the street. It is a story about sharing.
It is a simple chapter book. The readers can go through the story on their own, and the fun pencil drawings also help with reading through the book.
Recommended for kids in 1st and 2nd grade.
