This review is from: Cowboys And Cowgirls (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (School & Library Binding)

The book is filled with information about cowboys and cowgirls. The majority of the book tells of their activities in the Old West. Their clothes, a roundup and a cattle drive is explained. On the cattle drive we meet the trail boss, wranglers, cookie and others. Their duties are explained. A map supplies the routes of the famous trails and names. The book is very imformative and will make a great supplemental tool in the classroom. Any litttle buckaroo will love the book.

This is an excellent book for the aspiring cowboy in your house. I have twin cowboys who are almost 4 and they love this book. Their daily attire are cowboy boots and hats, spurs and a side iron(plastic today). So this book helps with their imagination and curiosity. This book is a fun read for Daddy and Mommy also.

Both my 2 and 1/2 son and his dad seem to like this book. The pictures are entertaining and there is a lot of good information for kids on the life of a cowboy. Certainly worth getting if your kids are interested in cowboys.
