Learn how to grow up to be a Cowboy!

What little boy doesn't dream at least once of someday being a cowboy? I think that if you ask most men, they will admit to this fantasy. In the charming new release "Young Cowboy," the late Western writer Will James magically captures the joy of a little boy growing up learning how to be a cowboy. By the time little Billy Roper was just one year old, his dad was toting him along on horseback rides. Soon, Billy was leading his own pony Big-Enough around the corral. Young Billy watches the skillful riding and roping of the ranch hands and learns about the hard work and responsibilities required of a cowboy. Readers of all ages who have dreamed of riding and owning a horse will gallop through "Young Cowboy," reining in just long enough to imagine themselves in the intricate pen & ink line drawings and gorgeous full-color paintings that illustrate the story. Anyone who has a real love the old West, as well as anyone who remembers the great childrens' stories of long ago will come to cherish Will James' works
