PRAISE FOR GULLYWASHER GULCH

Kirkus Reviews
September, 2002 		"For those wondering exactly what 'saving for a rainy day' means, Mitchell has a swell story that explains it all... Chartier's grand, overstuffed art gives Eb the mythic dimension he deserves,
yet best of all is knowing that packrats of the world may rejoice."
Literary Lagniappe
Fall, 2002 		"The whimsical illustrations not only bring life and laughter to Gullywasher Gulch, but also complement the text beautifully. The story is sure to be amusing to readers of all ages, especially to those who just cannot get rid of any of their seemingly useless stuff."
TUSD Library Services
Fall, 2002 		"This is a good addition to the southwestern collection."

Everyone in town teases Ebenezer Overall about all the junk he keeps around his old shack.

"I'm savin' it for a rainy day," Eb replies.

When a rainy day finally arrives, it comes as a real gullywasher. It washes old Eb, his shack, and all his stuff right down the hill and into the busted up town.

As folks pick through the mud, they realize that everything they need to rebuild is right there -- if Eb will let them use it.

Hang on for a wild ride as this gullywasher tale knocks your boots off.
