Pecos Bill
"The anecdotes associated with Texas's fabled cowboy hero burst from the pages in rapid succession, Kellogg's robust illustrations enlarging and enriching the energetic text."—School Library Journal. "A read-aloud treat....One of Kellogg's best."—Booklist.

Author Biography: Steven Kellogg is the illustrator of over eighty picture books for children, including his own retellings of Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, which School Library Journal declared “one of Kellogg's best books,” and Pecos Bill, which Booklist called “a read-aloud treat for the family or classroom.” Mr. Kellogg is also the author of Chicken Little, which Booklist said was “one of Kellogg's best efforts to date…a winner every child will like,” and Aster Aardvark's Alphabet Adventures, which Kirkus said was “an ingenious alliterative tour-de-farce, perfect accompaniment to the author's zany illustrations. Just try keeping a straight face as you read this aloud.”

Steven Kellogg lives in Sandy Hook, Connecticut.
