Anglund, Joan Walsh

The Brave Cowboy

(4) K-3 A little boy in cowboy gear pretends he is rounding up rustlers and roping steers. The boy and his real world are drawn in detailed black line, while the imaginary bank robbers, horses, and covered wagons are drawn in red. Despite the over-sweetness of Anglund's drawings and the somewhat condescending tone, the book still manages to have child appeal.
