Books 32: several 70s f/m

I had bad experience with usual novels, so I turned back to children's books often including illustrations. I found many interesting German books of the 70s, ordered some and even already have read 2 books. One problem is, that some books depicting kids in overalls on the cover but there are no illustrations or text involving bibs inside. But some have. Often cover images changes and the cover illustrator is not the same as the other illustrator. Most books I found are boys' Wild West / cowboys adventures. Denim overalls are quite rare in westerns of the 1870s (see also some western movie entries, especially Gunsmoke, LHOTP and The Last Train From Gun Hill.) Most books are from the most famous German publisher Schneider Verlag.

First of all series of author "Sheriff Ben"

There are 8 or more books and 3 depicting a very handsome, orphaned blond boy in different overalls.

Danny und die Bankräuber (own, blue bibs, also bibs illustration and text inside), Danny verfolgt den Goldgräber (blue bibs), Danny und die Flußpiraten (beige bibs).

Illustrations are quite poor and simple but at least similar to the cover and good plot. Some kids rule a Western city and have to face the robbers while the grown ups searching for gold. I have ordered some more, also with no bibs on the cover. More details later. The author also wrote books about girls in the Wild West.

 

Jo Pestum: Cowboys weinen nicht. A 13 yo farm boy meets Billy the Kid. More deeply youth novel, also about farm living and friendship, but very poor illustrations (pants with suspenders) and no text concerning bibs. The author is mostly known for detective stories.

Some other books I don't own:

Ein Junge und 1000 Autos (young boy repairing cars. Most likely wearing working bibs)

Erika und Erik (by Erica Lilleg, boy brown bibs)

 

Some other books, I think mostly younger girls in bibs (on the cover):

Ein Pony für Laura

Schlampi auf Gut Rosenheim

Dick und Dalli und die Ponies

Das Internat am Genfer See

Polly und Pippa

Unsere Freunde Poldy und Paulinchen
