“I hear that becoming a cowboy can be dangerous. Especially if you don't know the rules.
I don’t know the rules.”
It’s a good thing Conrad brought his Mega Ultimate Extreme First Aid Kit to Uncle Clint’s ranch because learning how to be a cowboy turns out to be a lot harder—and more painful—than he thought. Conrad has a lot to learn – including don’t squat with spurs on and never wave your red sweatshirt at a bull. But the biggest challenge of all is dealing with Imogene Louise Lathrup, the know-it-all-cowgirl next door. When Imogene shows up, she is all too happy to point out Conrad’s shortcomings. In this follow-up to their debut hit Pirates on the Farm, author Denette Fretz and illustrator Gene Barretta team up once again to tell a humorous tale about what it means to love your neighbor.
Read this book to my little 4 year old before bed and he loved it! It was definitely a hit for us. He kept comparing the characters in the book to him and his friends in real life. Even though Imogene is a know it all and focuses on things Conrad CAN'T do, Conrad is quick to forgive and is very kind. The message is very clear about being kind, helping and forgiveness. I love the vibrat colored illustrations and the cowboy slag, sure made it alot more believable!
