From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2. 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. As an additional purchase, this title is good for a laugh.?Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

From Booklist
Ages 4^-7. The team that created Do Pirates Take Baths? (1994) returns with another humorous question-and-answer picture book--this one devoted to cowhands. Tucker's 14 queries range from the obvious ("What do cowboys eat?" and "Where do cowboys live?") to the ridiculous ("Do cowboys ride bikes?" and "Do cowboys ever take off their boots?"), with rhymed responses offering more or less accurate information. The real fun comes from Westcott's droll ink-and-acrylic illustrations, which portray cowpokes donning long johns, roasting marshmallows, sleeping in boots, and applying hair tonic before a night out on the town. The cows cash in on the fun, too, panting during a stampede and joining in at a campfire serenade. Although the intended audience may miss some of the humor, most of the book's absurdities are sure to appeal to young listeners. Kay Weisman

5.0 out of 5 stars
Just perfect for the little cowpoke in your life!,
By
This review is from: Do Cowboys Ride Bikes? (Prairie Paperback Books) (Paperback)
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!
5.0 out of 5 stars
The 411 on cowboys!,
This review is from: Do Cowboys Ride Bikes? (Prairie Paperback Books) (Paperback)
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!
