PS
A cowboy wants to sing two cows to sleep, but he keeps getting spooked--by a "spider" (it's a flower), by a "snake" (it's a stick), etc. The humor value of a would-be fearless cowboy's true scaredy-cat nature knows no age limit. Simple but fully realized cartoon art amuses to the last page (guess who sleeps with a teddy bear?).
