Title: The Coyotes Know
Review: What a beautiful book, both in the rhymes that tell a story and in the woodcuts that capture the remains of the Old West: 1904, to be exact, when two miners struck gold and the boomtown of Rhyolite, Nevada, sprang up. Four years later, 10,000 people with all their accoutrements deserted the town in a matter of weeks. Banks failed, businesses went bust, and the desert began its work . . . as the coyotes sensed it would. This is a book worth reading aloud, worth studying for meaning and illustrations. If I'm ever in Nevada, I would want to visit the ghost town of Rhyolite just because of this book.
