"Stimpson provides an opportunity to view rural life in Texas during the Depression and its aftermath.... (His) almost Biblical cadence further enriches the reading, as does the imagery used to call up emotional response to the good times and the bad that mark his life. Throughout the story, the author intersperses description with rhymes and dialects in their original spelling and syntax, lending an authenticity of voice." -- School Library Journal
