Customer Reviews

Cute story!

I bought this for the summer reading program that I coordinated at my local library. We had a cowboy theme and this turned out to be a great choice to read out loud. It is a cute story and talks about everything a cowboy wears/has with him.

Why Cowboys Sleep with Their Boots On

Very funny and a cute way to put your little cowboy to sleep at night.

Funny and a good lesson

My three year old grandson and five year old granddaughter loved the story and the illustrations. We read the story three times in a row and they loved the anticipation of seeing which animal was creeping up next.

Fantastic bedtime story!

My 4 year old son loves this book! He dreams of being a cowboy one day, and this book just makes him giggle! I woud recommend this to anyone who has kids that like cowboys or silly stories. I also read this at a Library pre-school reading hour and it was a big hit! 5 stars and then some!

Wonderful story for preschool and elementary aged children!

My children (ages 3 & 4) loved this book! We rented it so much from the local library that it was well worth the money to buy it.
