[Leigh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really cute little book, and rather amusing (though I am too easily amused at times) in places.

In cowboyfilms zijn cowboys meestal lang, knap, jong en blank.
In het echt leven waren ze meestal oud. Meestal waren hun paarden knapper dan zijn.
(In films cowboys were mostly tall, handsome and jong. In real life they were mostly old... often their horses were better looking than them.)

Het paard moet al deze spullen èn de cowboy op zijn rug meedragen. En alles wat hij krijgt aan het eind van een lange dag is een handje hooi en een concert van cowboystemmen en een mondharmonica.
(The horse has to carry all this stuff and also the cowboy on its back. And all it gets after a long day is a handful of straw and a concert of cowboy voices and a harmonica.)

This cheerfully illustrated book tells you how to be a cowboy, the history of cowboys, horses, saloons and even recipes. Great for our Unit of Inquiries into Stories.
