Publisher's Summary
When veteran cowhands find his pile of poems, they say he's not a real cowboy and make him ride behind the cows. And when he realizes how poor his riding, roping, and whipping skills are, Slim heads for home, thinking he's a failure. But just then, a violent thunderstorm stampedes the herd toward Deadman's Canyon and prompts Slim to do something the other cowboys couldn't do.
Popular author Julie Danneberg has written a variety of innovative works for children, including a delightful book on Colorado history and geography. Ed Sala's whimsical narration helps this book's colorful and evocative words blossom with meaning.
What the critics say
"The light text, lathered liberally with Western lingo, neatly captures cowboy cadence. Perfect for cowboys and girls who long to ride at the head of the herd." (Kirkus Reviews)
"The well-chosen words of the narrative [are] read aloud beautifully...A droll tribute to the long tradition of cowboy poets, this will please any young tenderfoot who feels the call of the range." (Booklist)
