Anglund, Joan Walsh

PS
Delicate drawings and poetic text define a friend in terms understandable to young children. This small-size sixtieth-anniversary edition features full-color illustrations (with colorized nods at diversity) and includes a note from the author/illustrator about the provenance of this, her first book.

A little boy in cowboy gear pretends he is rounding up rustlers and roping steers. The boy and his real world are drawn in detailed black line, while the imaginary bank robbers, horses, and covered wagons are drawn in red. Despite the over-sweetness of Anglund's drawings and the somewhat condescending tone, the book still manages to have child appeal.
