The Wind Wagon

Celia Barker Lottridge. Groundwood Books, $3.95 (46pp) ISBN 978-0-88899-234-5

Also set in Kansas, author Celia Barker Lottridge bases The Wind Wagon on the true story of Sam Peppard's dream to sail west across the windy prairies on his eye-catching invention in 1859. B&w illustrations by Daniel Clifford show wheels whizzing as the boat-like carriage passes horse-drawn wagons. ( Oct.)
