Review

"The exemplary text, well calibrated to new readers' abilities, uses plenty of exciting, action verbs and swift dialogue to move the stories along, while Lewin's black-lined artwork extends the sense of friendship and fun."--Booklist

 

--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description

In this fourth book in the series, Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa are ready for rainy-day adventures--or are they? Cocoa's not so sure he wants to get wet. And thunder can be a little frightening. But whatever the weather, these cowpoke pals are sticking together.

    

With snappy text and silly illustrations, Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa are as feisty as ever. So pull on your slicker for a little stormy weather and a lot of splashy fun.

(Douglassville, PA, USA) - See all my reviews My two kids (as well as their father and I) LOVE Erica Silverman's other books about Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa. We couldn't wait for this one to come out. Well, it arrived the other day and I have to admit that we're all a bit disappointed. Unlike her other books which is written so sweetly to accompany the terrific pictures, this one seemed to be a book that Erica "cranked out" just to get another book out on the market. It's a bit lacking in its story-line. Had I no read her other books, I'm not sure if I would have run out to purchase another one by her. As for her first two books, "Cowgirl Kate/Cocoa" and "Partners", they can't be beat! They are first rate and simply wonderful! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Kids @ Teens Read Too, October 1, 2008 By  TeensReadToo.com "Eat. Drink.

Cocoa isn't so sure about being outside during a thunderstorm, even if the thought of racing the wind sounds exciting. He may just get his chance, though - on the way back to the safety of the barn! Pretending to have a cold might give Cocoa an idea of what a sick cow would feel like, but missing out on timothy grass, apples, and corn is not appealing. When it comes to wearing a rain sheet, Cocoa isn't much for the idea. It looks silly, and besides, prancing in the puddles is so much fun! Until you're dripping wet and shivering, that is. After the rain, the air is fresh, the grass is sweet, and the joy of chasing the pot of oats at the end of the rainbow can't be beat. Once again, author Erica Silverman and illustrator Betty Lewin bring to life the tales of one cowgirl and her sweet horse. The books in this series are perfect for beginning readers, and the love between a young girl and her horse perfectly describes the true meaning of friendship.
