There are boys and girls who dream of becoming Cowboys or Cowgirls, wear the hat, the outfit, the boots, ride the horse and talk the talk, like "howdy y'all". Sounds like fun! And this book will appeal to anyone who loves cowboys!
Slim has always dreamed about becoming a cowboy and his dream comes true, but a cowboy ins't a real cowboy if he writes poetry; well at least that's what all the Cowboys tell him. Julie Danneberg discuss an interesting topic through Slim; be accepted for who you are and what you like. Writing poetry at least for Slim case doesn't mean your weak or not a real cowboy, and she emphasis on this on the end; when Slim's poetry saves the day.
I love the illustrations and the dialogue is very Western-y, making it fun to read-aloud.
Happy reading!
