Lasso Lou and Cowboy McCoy
"I love this
book for its humor, its drawings and its suggestion, at the end, that there is
more to cowboys than clothes. ...Tedd Arnold, master
of a winning cartoonish style..."
When Cowboy McCoy meets Lasso Lou, life at the Bo-Dee-Oh Ranch is never the same--but it is more fun! Together these plucky pardners do their best to meet every challenge.
I took one look at Barbara Larmon Failing's stories and
knew this book would be fun to illustrate. I remember growing up on cowboy
stories in comics and library books, movies and television. Cowboy McCoy is
definitely the kind of cowboy I would be if I ever got up the nerve to try. When
I was a boy of six, living 
on a farm with my three brothers, we had a horse
named Montana
and he was huge! He was also old and very tame. Montana would stand perfectly
still in the yard and let us little kids climb all over him as if he was a
playground jungle-gym. That's as close as I ever got to being a cowboy. Yippee-aye-oh!
