In thirty-three parables, master storyteller David Davis
retells age-old lessons about life, fairness, and honesty
with a Texas twist. From classic stories, such as "The
Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs," to new western legends,
like "The Cowpoke Who Fooled His Friends," this collection
teaches children the importance of telling the truth and
treating everyone with respect.
Every short story ends with a summary of the moral learned,
and colorful illustrations make each tale an adventure for
all readers. From the beautiful prairie godmother who
grants wishes in the Guadalupe River to the sneaky coyote
who tricks all the animals he encounters, every character
adds Texas magic and humor to these timeless fables. David Davis, known for his keen sense of humor and lyrical
style, has written several titles in Pelican's Night Before
Christmas Series, including Redneck Night Before Christmas,
Trucker's Night Before Christmas, and Nurse's Night Before
Christmas. His books Ten Redneck Babies and Jazz Cats were
both named to the Children's Choice Top 100 List. A
finalist for the Texas Golden Spur Award, Jazz Cats was
also a selection of the Accelerated Reader Program. Davis
has published pen-and-ink artwork, cartoons, poems, humor,
and short stories in various magazines and newspapers. He
is the author of Rock 'n' Roll Dogs, Texas Mother Goose,
and Texas Zeke and the Longhorn. He won the Mississippi
Press Association award in 1996 for his political cartoons.
An active speaker and presenter, Davis lives in Forth
Worth, Texas.
