The buffalo, an American icon once nearly extinct, has made a comeback. This stirring picture book tells the dramatic story, following bison from the Plains Indians to the cowboys, Teddy Roosevelt to the Dust Bowl, and from the brink of extinction to the majestic herds that now roam our national parks. Paired with gorgeous paintings by landscape artist Wendell Minor, Jean Craighead George's engaging text will inspire a new generation to understand and protect nature's delicate balance.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Jean Craighead George<br><b>Publisher:</b> Dutton Books for Young Readers<br><b>Published:</b> 05/13/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.93lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.28h x 11.16w x 0.41d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780525422150<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.9<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>136710 / Buffalo Are Back<br><br><b>Award:</b> Keystone to Reading Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Sequoyah Book Awards - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Buckaroo Book Award - Nominee<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Kirkus Review - Children</i> 04/01/2010<br><i>Booklist</i> 04/15/2010 pg. 44<br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 05/10/2010 pg. 1<br><i>Horn Book Magazine</i> 07/01/2010 pg. 131<br><i>School Library Journal</i> 07/01/2010 pg. 74<br><i>Hornbook Guide to Children</i> 07/01/2010 - Superior,Well Above Average<br><p><b>About the Author</
