. There are very few stories or even books written about WW I, but my pick this week takes place during that time period. War Horse, by Michael Morpurgois, is a juvenile fiction told from the viewpoint of the main character, Joey the horse. This beautiful red horse, which stands 16 hands high, is purchased as a colt at an auction and taken home to a farm. He immediately was adopted and taken care of by Albert, the farmer's son. |

Local Wonders: Seasons in the Bohemian Alps by Ted Kooser is the “One Book, One Nebraska” selection for 2011. Although Kooser is known for his poetry, this is not a poetry book. The book is divided into four chapters: spring, summer, fall and winter in which the author shares a lifetime of observations about the land, home, people and family, describing in detail and humor the place he calls home in the rolling hills of southeast Nebraska known as the Bohemian Alps. |
