Product Description: "Fourteen questions a young child might ask about cowboys, such as where they live, what they look like, what they eat, etc., are answered in rhyme. Rollicking, cartoon-style illustrations done in pen and ink and watercolors capture the silliness and humor of the verses. The words have a lilting ring that makes them inviting to beginning readers".--"School Library Journal". Full color.
The 411 on cowboys! Find out the pertinent details of cowboys. How they live, talk, dress, and eat. Find out about stampedes, the dangers on the trail and how to catch a rustler. This is a humorously written and illustrated book all about cowboys. The details and colors in the pictures are delightful! This is great for boys and girls. I have girls and they've both loved this fun book. It's one of my favorites along with "Do Pirates Take Baths".
This is one of those books my youngest daughter will pull out and ask for when she knows I'm tired and trying to get outta reading. She begs, I relent, then she says: Oh-kkaaay, how about 'Do Cowboys ride Bikes?' -and I say okay, but just this one!
Just perfect for the little cowpoke in your life! I just read this book to my son at bedtime tonight and had to come make sure there were some good reviews out there. Since I found no reviews, I will just have to write one myself because people should know just how cute this book is. Each page spread asks a question about the life of a cowboy and the answer is written in a short, silly poem with pictures that correspond. Nothing the least bit questionable here for the little cowboys either--they drink root beer when they go to town and even brush their teeth with sagebrush every night before bed. Cute, cute, cute with adorable illustrations. Just the right length for my 2 year old. He enjoys looking at the pictures as I read. It's a book to grow on though because the pictures are pretty detailed and he'll get more jokes as he gets older. Nice cadence too. All around love it!
