Widdermaker by: Pattie Schnetzler

Widdermaker is a fantastic story about a dominant bull that is ridden in rodeos. The title of the book is very interesting because it is clearly a play on the word widowmaker, which could be a little graphic for young children to understand. I was also intrigued by the fact that it says the book is for kindergarten through fourth graders because that seems like such a huge range for a single book. But after reading it I understood how this book would be enjoyable for younger children and at the same time a good read for children up to fourth grade. The pictures were incredible and loud and eye catching and any other good words you could use to describe them. They had great attention to detail and really told a story behind the story. This was a great story because it starts with him being big and bad and ends with him being nice just like everyone else. I would definitely want to read this to a child because it would be entertaining and fun for both of us.
