Rodeo Ron and His Milkshake Cows

By Rowan Clifford

Book Overview

The little town of Cavity is no place for Rodeo Ron and his multicolored milkshake cows. Not a soul in Cavity will drink milk. They'll only drink extra-fizzy, extra-sweet sodas from Frothy and Fruity's. Which would explain everyone's uncontrollable burping and dirty brown teeth. So Rodeo Ron moseys on over to Frothy and Fruity's soda bar and challenges those two belching brothers to a shake-off -- milkshakes vs. soda Frothy and Fruity gather their sugars and syrups. Rodeo Ron gathers his milkshake cows. The shake-off is on From the Hardcover edition.

Customer Reviews

One of my favorite picture books!

I love this book. It is especially fun to read with a child on your lap. The text is perfect for jogging the child and usually results in even more laughs!

Rodeo Ron is a lot of fun!

We found this book in the library one day and we checked it out so many times, I decided to just buy it. The boys I babysit (4 1/2, 2 1/2) love this story and love to shake shake shake along with the cows while I'm reading to them. It's a great story with vivid, funny illustrations and a much needed lesson about good nutrition for kids! I highly recommend this book for any young child.

Shake Up Some Colorful Drinks

Rodeo Ron reforms the town with Rotten Teeth by introducing his tasty shakes from his cows: the first one as yellow as a field of sun ripened corn, the second as blue as a cloudless sky and the th ird as green as a fresh spring meadow. The milkshake cows not only make tasty shakes, they dispense colorful shakes. This would be a fun introduction to a lesson on making milkshakes of three colors using a variety of flavorings. Even little kids can use a blender to transform plain old burpless milk into yummy snacks that everyone will love. There are no recipes in the book, but it won't take most kids more than a minute to come up with ideas for their own tasty drinks.

Must Have For Dental Offices!!

Great kids book, young and old. Town called Cavity only serves soda to drink and everyones teeth are rotted. Great western and very colorful!
