Customer Reviews

Good poetry, great art.

What a wonderful idea for a children's book. I wish some of the poetry was better... several of the verses are awkwardly phrased or awkwardly rhymed, and difficult to read aloud. But the art is great throughout, with a perfect blend of warm colors for the smokey Western nighttime mood. And - perhaps most importantly - my toddler loves it! He asks for it by name (he calls it "la luna") and wants it every night. That's fine with me. See also Cowboy ABC by Demarest.

Pure LaLuna Magic!

I just adored this book, the pictures and the lyrics(yes I said lyrics) were like a sweet bedtime lullaby that could be read to your children night after night. I purchased this book for my husband for his birthday, and he loved it. I have also purchased it for other members of my family. What a special book and one to treasure for a lifetime. Beautiful-Beautiful. Since this purchase I have become a huge Kathi Appelt fan!

a real cowboy's dream

My little 3-year old cowboy loves to read this book before bedtime. It's lulling, rhythmic text is a wonderful "wind-down" book before turning in. It has helped to perpetuate his cowboy dream and has taught him about different wildlife present in the desert or on the "range." He's even nicknamed himself Cowpoke and his brother, Camp Cookie, after reading this so many times. It's one of our favorites!! Perfect for any boy or girl showing interested in the cowboy or cowgirl life!

Cowboy Dreams

This beautifully illustrated book is a great night time story for all children. The text is a soothing rhyme, perfect for setting a bedtime mood.

Different twist for bedtime reading

This is a fun book to read at bed time that offers something different than the usual good night books. It's wonderful the way the words roll off of your tongue - you almost can't help reading it with a slight 'twang'. The illustrations are beautiful, too. This is one of the few books my son and I both enjoy reading.
