Petro Pete's Adventure

"Because many of our area residents are involved in things concerning the oil fields of the area, we know it will be a welcome and much read book."

Lu King
Pawhuska Public Library Director

"I try to find interesting books about the oil industry that children can enjoy. This is a book my students will be able to enjoy."

Janis Wathins
Glenpool Elementary Media Specialist

"It is difficult to find books written for children about the petroleum industry . . . They are also well-bound so they will stand up to wear and tear of the many hands that will find them in the public library."

Kelly Jennings
Tulsa City-County Library Children’s Collection Development Librarian

"This colorful and informative book about Oklahoma is a valued addition to the library’s collection. It is now on the shelf to be enjoyed by our young readers."

Lois Bannister
Garland Smith Public Library Director

"This wonderful children’s book is the first of a three-book series. So many of our kids don’t know where gas and gasoline come from and I feel these books will explain it to them on a level they can understand."

Julia Embree
Pauls Valley Library

"As the librarian, I enjoyed reading through this book and look forward to seeing the other two books in the series. I will be using it in some of our children’s programs about Oklahoma heritage when we look at oil production and its impact on our state."

Catharine Dumas
Waurika Public Library Librarian

"I will read The Road to Petroville to my library classes during the week of statehood. This book will help our students understand more about the importance of oil in our state and how we get it."

Brenda Helms
Fort Gibson Elementary

"Here in Pawhuska, we are in the thick of the oil patch and many of our students have family members connected to the petroleum industry. The Road to Petroville will be a good addition to our collection."

Linda Snyder

"We will enjoy reading this for years to come."

Julia Davenport
Mcloud Elementary

"Thanks for your generous donation of this colorfully illustrated book. I know the students will enjoy it and learning about the jobs of the early oilfield workers."

Cynthia Appel
Bell Media Specialist

"We are a small rural school and the book will be an excellent addition to our Oklahoma collection of books in our library. . . I commend you in keeping the students of northwest Oklahoma in your concerns in developing education."

Shiela Means

“What a clever way to introduce ‘the oil patch’ to our children!”

Janis Jarmon

"The Road to Petroville is very well written and a great educational resource for our teachers and students. The OERB has consistently been a valuable resource for our school district, providing top quality materials and training."
