This review is from: Cowboy for a Rainy Afternoon (Center Point Premier Western (Large Print)) (Hardcover)

Six older cowboys and one 10 year old grandson spend the day telling stories and asking questions. Each story they tell would make a great book in itself. How does Stephen Bly come up with so many stories and ideas.

Another excellent book by Stephen Bly. "Cowboy for a Rainy Afternoon" is such a fun, exciting book. You will simply love reading and you will feel you are just one of the older cowboys, living out the days of your past.

Even though they are telling stories about their past they still manage to get invouled in a present day adventure, with robbers, women, jewels etc... It seems like trouble just follows these guys around.

This book teaches me several things, one, the older generation has a lot to teach us. Next, life is full of adventure all around us. We all have a story inside of us.

I highly recommend "Cowboy for a Rainy Afternoon." It is a book that you will treasure forever.

I received this book from the author for a honest review. Thanks Bly's!
