| Publisher Description: A great way to introduce your brilliant babies to the ABCs while teaching them about everyday life in the rip-roarin' and rambunctious Wild West. This unique era of America's nineteenth-century history featured buckskin-clad buckaroos, dastardly desperados, smarmy snake-oil peddlers, and the inevitable arrival of the cavalry--always just in the nick of time. All of these things and more are brought to life through artist Greg Paprocki's vintage-inspired illustrations. From the creators of BabyLit(R) V Is for Vittles: A Wild West Primer is part of a unique new series that opens a window on history while teaching toddlers the ABCs. Different eras of history--including the nineteenth-century American West, medieval Europe, and Victorian England--are brought to life by Greg Paprocki's fun and enticing illustrations in this new series of board books for brilliant babies.
