A Wild Cowboy
When a little boy gets set to spend the day at Grandma's, he's really preparing to go on the cowboy ride of his dreams. With his imagination in tow, he and his pardner (brother) ride their horses (Mom and Dad) to meet their ranch hand (Grandma). After having a great day doing all the things that cowfolk do, this fantastic adventure ends in a wonderfully reassuring way as the cowboy and his "horse" are reunited, just in time to be tucked in bed. This is the quintessential cattle-rustling cowboy fantasy, ideal for all young tots with lots of wonder and imagination in their hearts. Dana Kessimakis Smith was born and raised in Utah. Currently she lives in California with her family, working as a full-time writer and mom. Laura Freeman studied art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where she lives with her husband and two sons.

A Wild Cowboys is about a young boy who is going to Grandma’s for the day but everything he does he explains in cowboy lingo. It is a rhyming book and teaching to read because the pages have two sentences then show the action of the page. The pictures pull the literature together, so a child may question what is being read to them but once see’s the words with the pictures the material understood. There is a lot of play and word and different meaning for the same words.

At first I wasn't totally in love with this book but the more I read the more I realized how much excitement and fun children bring into life, that everything to them can be play and fun. A good reminder.

Another good one....YeeHaw! Not quite as rich in "k" sounds as I'd like but it is good for a little one that is interested in cowboys.

A great read along with a primarily African-American cast. A little boy imagines his visit to his grandparents as a cattle drive adventure.
