Customer Reviews

Perfect for Young Cowboys Everywhere!

This hilariously-illustrated picture book is perfect for your young cowpoke at home. The text is fun and short--great for a quick read. And Avery proves to kids everywhere that just about anyone is cowboy material. This little humdinger of a book is one you won't mind reading over and over again! Yeehaw!

FABULOUS

My son found this book at our local library and checked it out every two weeks for a year. He loves to read it using different voices for the characters. This year he decided that his cousin, also named Avery, needed his own copy for Christmas. It is an easy bedtime story for a three year old who loves all things cowboy.

Fun!

I love children's books that tell stories, and this storyline is entertaining, as well as, motivating for children with a low self esteem. My children and I enjoyed the author's writing style, including a western accent... that I would try to imitate while reading. I would highly recommend this book for every children's library.

Listen Up, Partner!

Avery wants to be a cowboy, but when he arrives at Cowboy Camp, he takes one look at the other campers and knows he doesn't have what it takes. Who ever heard of a cowboy named Avery who doesn't like grits and beans, is allergic to horses and gets rope burn? When an unexpected visitor arrives at camp, Avery uses the most important cowboy skill of all and proves he's an honest-to-goodness cowboy. Tammi Sauer pens a clever cowboy story that will leave kids laughing out loud and begging to attend Cowboy Camp this summer. Mike Reed's illustrations are incredible--a perfect fit for this rootin' tootin' cowboy adventure. Look for this one to win some awards. VERY highly recommended!

Yee Haw!

Avery is a kid who just can't seem to get things right at Cowboy Camp. Or can he? In Cowboy Camp, it's Avery to the rescue when he and the other kids discover that it's not only okay to be yourself -- it's what being a true cowboy is all about. I read this one to a class of kindergarteners last week and they loved it. It's going up on my shelf right next to my Tacky books. Cute, clever and lots of fun!
