Product Description
Jasper is off to California with dreams of gold that will fill his pans to overflowing. He has his shovel, his pick, and lots of energy-but finding gold isn't easy. Maybe farming wasn't so bad. . . . Punchy, rhythmic verse and wonderfully detailed illustrations depict the hopes, dreams, and realities of the settlers of the California Gold Rush of 1849 and bring this vibrant period in American history to life.

 Gold Fever April 10, 2007
I purchased this book for my 4 yr old nephew to go along with a Gold Panning Kit. He completely understood about gold panning and enjoyed being read to about it.
Terrific rhyme June 24, 1999
A real pleasure to read, with vivid, bouncy rhyme and great illustrations. Jasper's encounter with the bear was a particular hit . A short, fun book -- parents take note!

I give Ms. Kay's GOLD FEVER six stars. The sing-song rhyme is nothing short of wonderful. It is a FAVORITE night read. Even though we have read it again and again, the journey is always new and exciting!
Presents a humorous view of the California Gold Rush June 23, 1999

Written in short, cryptic and perfectly rhymed and metered verse, Verla Kay's Gold Fever presents an amusing and authentic picture of the excitement and hardships of California's Gold Rush. The illustrations match the humorous text.
The California Gold Rush in rhyme June 22, 1999
Very good book for young children to introduce them to the idea the California Gold Rush was not all glitter! It was cold, wet and most people didn't get rich. The writer tells the story in descriptive words that convey the essence of the period. Jasper is cute!
