Description
When the bear wants to spend the afternoon photographing birds, the exuberant cowboy inadvertently makes a nuisance of himself as he loudly chews bubble gum, hops on a pogo stick and slurps a pop. When the ninja just wants to read quietly, the cowboy is wildly distracting as he drums on rocks, bats a paddleball and gabs on his cell phone. The cowboy's boisterous mood prompts the ninja and the bear to drop their respective activities, leaving their pal alone to wonder why no one wants to be with him. Can he find the peace and quiet he needs to figure it out? Readers will appreciate the warm and witty approach to getting along and will also love the playfully bold illustrations rife with fun-to-spot detail.

Style AND substance: this book is a winner
This looks like the kind of stylishy designed book that hipsters buy for their children (who are called Tallulah) at overpriced boutiques, but in addition to being cool, The Call of the Cowboy is a really great read. We are 2 and 32, and we loved the story whose sounds were great fun to read. Style AND substance: this book is a winner!Other titles by
