The Dirty Cowboy

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Rex. One morning, a very dirty cowboy decides to take his annual bath. But once he's clean, his faithful dog doesn't recognize his scent and won't relinquish his clothes. Timberlake's twangy storytelling and funny phonetic speech bubbles ("Whoorrugg?" asks the dog) and Rex's sepia-toned illustrations, full of inspired ways to conceal the cowboy's nudity, make for a humorous and original tall tale.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
