(4) 4-6 Atomic series. Cowboy fashion, gear, and lingo are a few of the topics explored in splashy double-page chapters. Nobleman also touches on myths, cowgirls, and cowboys around the world. The busy page design includes diagonally set text, captioned photos, vocabulary words at the bottom of the page, and "Cowboy fact!" boxes, all of which may be distracting to some struggling readers. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
