Illustrated by
Tedd Arnold.
When the only hat in the shop that fits McCoy is a cowboy hat, he declares, "I must be a cowboy!" and sets off to find a ranch. The decidedly uncowboylike McCoy runs (literally) into Lasso Lou, who teaches him that cowboys don't ride pigs, that stirrups aren't for hands, etc. The goofy situations and wacky illustrations add character and humor to the story.
