Customer Reviews

A delightful story about a cowboy and his horse! A REAL DAY BRIGHTENER!

This book will delight all the little ones in your family. It's a heart-warming tale of friendship between a cowboy and his faithful horse, Andy. The cover catches your attention right away with the colorful illustration, and Andy's larger-than-life, emotional facial expressions keep you smiling all the way through. An exceptional tale of friendship and how people can learn a lot from their pets. The art is truly appropriate to this author's wonderful way with words ... and description. No cliches here! What a writer! Highly recommended ... for kids and grandparents too.

A western tale

This picture book captures the narrative flow of a western tale, with words simple enough for a child to understand but complex enough to tell a detailed story. The art blends familiar cartoon characters against a western backdrop, connecting today's children with a cherished view of America's past.

An excellent book for children of all ages

I love the message of this book. Children are constantly being bombarded with messages of needing more and more stuff. This books lesson is that good friends are more important than stuff. The story full of magic moments and beautiful illustrations too.
