K-3Rookie Reader series.
Illustrated by
Susan Miller.
"Grab your hat. / It's time to go. / You'll need some boots for the rodeo." In addition to five one-word spreads ("Bounce!" "Bound!" "Throw!"), this rhyming text features one or two easy-to-read sentences per page. Cartoonlike illustrations that show a rodeo contestant in the ring with his spirited horse add to the enjoyment of this adventure, which unfortunately ends abruptly.
