"Get ready for some slick storytelling."
-Dallas Morning News
"Just the right mix of entertaining charm and historical fact."
-Barbara Dorff, Texas Secondary Teacher of the Year, Dallas ISD
Bluebonnet, everyone's favorite itinerant armadillo, is on the road again In this latest picture book by the Texas writer and illustrator team of Mary Brooke Casad and Benjamin Vincent, Bluebonnet visits her sister Irmadillo in Kilgore, Texas. There, she meets her four nephews-Wildcatter, Bradford, Hunt, and Lloyd-all named for aspects of the East Texas oil history. As the boys describe their namesakes, Bluebonnet learns how the East Texas Oil Field was discovered, and how it changed rural Texas into "Boomtown, U.S.A." The armadillo boys take Aunt Bluebonnet on a trip to the East Texas Oil Museum where they experience firsthand how oil is produced, what the town was like in the 1930s when oil fever struck, and even what it feels like to drill for oil
Bluebonnet at the East Texas Oil Museum is a wonderful introduction to the East Texas Oil Museum and makes an ideal souvenir or travel companion for young visitors and anyone curious about East Texas and the oil industry.
