Description: Gila Monsters Meet You at the Airport by Byron Barton Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Synopsis coming soon....... Publisher Description "I live at 165 East 95th Street, and Im going to stay here forever." says the young hero firmly. After all, out West nobody plays baseball because theyre too busy chasing buffaloes, and you have to ride a horse to school even if you dont know how, and you cant sit down because of the cactus. But his parents are moving West, and they say he has to go, too. Once there, however, the boy doesnt meet the Gila monsters he expected. And on the ride to his new home (by taxi, not horse) he discovers the West is neither as different nor as bad as hed imagined. Marjorie Weinman Sharmat and Byron Barton share a keen sense of the ridiculous and a compassionate understanding of a childs anxieties. Together they have created a perceptive, exuberantly funny picture book that will have children in all parts of the country laughing away their own fears about new experiences.
