Cowboy Stories from East Texas
Written and Illustrated by: John Lash
"Cowboy Stories from East Texas, written and illustrated by John Lash, is a fun book for young readers. The book has "tall tale" qualities and Lash writes in a comfortable and conversational way. His exciting stories of cowboys, their critters, and their exploits will no doubt especially hold boys spellbound. Daddy Bob, "the best cowboy who ever came out of Texas," Nanny, and 6-year-old Bubba have an array of adventures with wampus cats, ghosts, giant catfish, brave and loyal dogs, ornery `gators, persnickety goats, "the biggest, meanest bull in Texas," and even the weather. The book's introduction does justice to Texas geography, too; it is actually set in Southeast Texas, known for its thick forests and soupy swamps - the perfect setting for your child's imagination."
