The Dirty Cowboy by Amy Timberlake, pictures by Adam Rex (0-374-31791-7)
Whoooowheeeee! What a wonderful book filled with pictures that make you laugh out loud and a text with a rollicking rhythm. I particularly enjoyed the illustrations during the cowboy’s bath when different objects are positioned to hide delicate areas. What a hoot!
This one is a great read aloud, though the illustrations are so great that it makes a good lap book as well so one can linger over them. Use this one to hook boys.
