Kralovansky, Susan Holt

Twelve Cowboys Ropin'

(4) K-3 Applying the traditional "Twelve Days of Christmas" theme, Pappy gives his recipient Texas-themed gifts, such as horny toads, prickly pears, longhorns grazin', 'dillos diggin', and boots a-scootin', as well as "a mockingbird in a pecan tree." Rustic-looking collages incorporating denim, bandanas, twine, etc., accompany the rather tiring text. "Fun Facts" about the Texas items and a musical score are appended.
