Every Cowgirl Needs a Horse

32 pp. | Dutton | February, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-525-42164-1 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lynne Avril. Birthday girl and self-described cowgirl Nellie Sue "needs" a horse; instead, her parents give her a pink bicycle ("I wasn't real keen on ridin' a horse with wheels where hooves ought to be"). The book's humor comes from the contrast between Nellie Sue's cowpoke imaginings and her reality, exhibited in the energetic illustrations of her suburban home and family.
