Way out in the West there's a town they call Fear And only the roughest and toughest live here . . .
When cheerful salesman, Bingo B. Brown, rolls his wagon full of Wild West goodies into town, he's met with a stony silence. This is clearly no place for novelty bow ties and elastic lassos. Not even Bingo's dancing dog can raise a smile! But this town is not just joyless, it's dangerous. And as Bingo soon discovers, the people of the town are not just scary, they're also scared. It isn't long before Bingo and his dog discover why, as they come face to face with the Wildest Cowboy in the West! Saddle up for a spectacular ride with a wildly talented film director and author, Garth Jennings and star illustrator, Sara Ogilvie. The Wildest Cowboy is a funny and uplifting adventure story in which fun wins out over fear. Featuring a dramatic train chase, rattlesnake socks, and a dancing dog!
Simply amazing! Unusual and original on so many levels. I loved the rhymes and wild, exciting illustrations. The clever message on the last page show-cases the outstanding literary talent that this author possesses.
On niitä parempiakin lasten kuvakirjoja tullut luettua. Positiivista voisi väkisin etsiä siitä, että tarinalla on sentään suhteellisen positiivinen loppu.
First of all, I love love love the illustrations. The fifth star is for the pictures which have a vintage feel to them and so many details to look at.
A traveling salesman and his dog travel to a town that is wracked with fear. They leave to avoid the coming of a terrifying villain only to have him attack the train they are riding. Instead of running away, the salesman stands up to the bully, saving the entire town.
A great approach to bullying: standing up to do the right thing- even when you are afraid.
Also loved the message of living in Hope, not in Fear.
