About This Book

Take your friends where you can find them!

Old Granny is lonely, living way out in the country with no one to talk to. She's happy enough, though, as long as she has her beans. One night a thief climbs through the window of
her little cabin while she's sleeping and steals her beans! Old Granny sets out to see the sheriff. Along the way, she meets an odd assortment of talking creatures: a snake, a pecan, a cow patty, a prickly pear cactus, and an alligator. Soon they've all befriended Old Granny, and joined forces to help her foil the thief in this humorous tale that glows with the bright, bold colors of the Southwest.
 
Old Granny and the Bean Thief is a 2004 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
