New Releases by Scott Goto

A fun and exaggerated account of the life and exploits of the sharp-shooting Wild West entertainer, Annie Oakley. Goto''s exuberant, energetic, and subtly comical illustrations are perfectly matched to Dadey''s rollicking tongue-in-cheek tall tale.

"Sensei Masa was a master swordsmith known throughout all of Japan." Young Michio is apprenticed to the master swordsmith. He watches and learns not only the skills to make a fine sword, but also lessons in humility, hard work, and compassion, elements of Bushido, the samurai code of honor. When he and Sensei create a sword that rivals all others, warriors from around Japan come to claim ownership of it. But only one can be worthy. Rich, symbolic art captures the Tokugawa period in ancient Japan. Includes an author''s note about the history of Japanese samurai swords and a glossary of Japanese terms.
