Cowpoke Clyde and Dirty Dawg

Cowpoke Clyde€s house was completely clean€"he€d even shooed off the horseflies: €œThen right behind his cookin€ pot, / he spied one thing he€d plumb forgot: / ol€ Dawg, his faithful, snorin€ friend, / all caked with mud from end to end.€ Needless to say, Dawg wakes up and runs. The chase that follows€"with page-turn surprises€"makes for a hilarious shaggy-dog story involving fleas, a hog, bribery, cats, deception, and a mule. The rhyming stanzas are pitch-perfect, Texas-style, and plumb near cry out to be read aloud. Austin€s expressive acrylic and colored-pencil caricatures of Cowpoke Clyde and his menagerie are priceless. A storytime shoo-in!
