Published in 1979, Latki and the Lightning Lizard is shelved in the folklore section of my library, although it is clearly a work of fantasy. There are some obvious southwestern influences to be seen in the tale - the landscape, for one - but other elements, such as the chainmail-wearing lizard, are clearly original (well, as original as such things ever are). The colophon even lists this as fantasy. Leaving aside that odd mis-categorization, I'm not sure just what to make of this long out of print title. Baker's narrative reads well enough, but isn't especially captivating, and the illustrations by Donald Carrick were not to my taste. The black and white drawings weren't terrible, but the color spreads struck me as garish, and the overall "feel" of the book is very dated. Definitely not one I would advise readers to expend much energy in seeking out. ( )
