| Description: |
This new revised edition with full-color illustrations added is written and delightfully illustrated with an eye to the education of adults as well as children. Cowboy Alphabet serves up a brimming stew of Southwestern phenomena--by letters. From A's armadillo to Y's yonder, this unusual primer initiates the reader into rodeo lore, desert fauna, cowboy dress, and a Z-is-for-zillion other aspects of cowboy life. |
| Synopsis: |
Anyone who has lived in the Southwest or grown up on dime-store Westerns, John Ford or roadrunner cartoons will probably understand the gist of that paragraph. So too will those who are comfortable with a well-worn saddle and knotted reins or who have tussled with dogies and teethed on alphabet blocks that spelled of their own accord: bronc and quirt and waddy. But if the words sound like some foreign lingo, youre in sore need of a copy of James Rices Cowboy Alphabet. Delightfully written and illustrated, Cowboy Alphabet supplies a wealth of information for would-be cowpokes, young and old alike. From As armadillo (a harmless throwback that wears a coat of armor and next to impossible for a kid to pull out of a hole by the tail) to Ys yonder (a far piece down the road but not so far that you can't see to point it out), this unusual primer initiates the reader into rodeo lore, desert fauna, cowboy dress, and a Z-is-for-zillion other aspects of cowboy life. |
