I Want to Be a Cowgirl

32 pp. | Holt | April, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6997-6 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tony Ross. Our narrator doesn't want to be a "girly girl / Who likes to sit and chat. / I just want to be a cowgirl, Daddy, / What's so wrong with that?" While the loose, Quentin Blake-esque cartoons show the would-be wrangler reshaping city life to match her fantasies, the pithy rhymes advance her case to make it real. Eventually her father busts out of his citified duds and answers her plea to "come and be a cowboy too!"
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
