Bøger af Buddy Mays

Set in the one-horse, out-of-the-way southern Oregon railroad town of Gold Hill in the 1950s, this poignant but uproarious coming-of-age memoir offers a compelling portrait of what life was like growing up without a father, without indoor plumbing, and with barely enough money coming into the household each month to buy pinto beans and a sack of potatoes. Dealing with humbling poverty, hateful relatives, and grade school bullies on a daily basis, the author's portrayal of the often implausible antics of the Mays family and their relatives and friends are sometimes heart-breaking, sometimes hilarious, but always entertaining. In the Kingdom of Rattlesnakes will keep you in stitches, or tears, or both, from cover to cover.

Yams in disguise, zucchinis in bikinis, corn being cool, green onions with grins, all make learning the alphabet loads of fun for young readers. Wonderfully written and illustrated by author and prize-winning photographer Buddy Mays, E is for Eggplant, is a fun, funny book of rhymes and pictures that every child will want to hear and see over and over. Great for teaching kids about scrumptious healthy foods and the alphabet at the same time.
