 Couldn't the Wild West be tamed less crudely? Oct 30, 2007
I'm a little shocked that this book got such rave reviews, and that some are from teacher-types...as an elementary school librarian, I purchased this from a reputable vendor after reading SLJ's glowing review of it. But after seeing not 1, not 2, but 3 full page spreads of nose picking cowboys, I'm rethinking this purchase! I'm sorry, but our little guys and gals don't need any encouragement in this area! I know it's all in good fun, but I can pretty much guarantee that I would have plenty of parents who would be offended and/or upset that their child checked this out of his/her school library (and folks, I'm not at all a prude here, but I have to say I agree!). Cute story line, but the nose picking has to go. Not the sort of book I'd want my own children choosing, or receiving as a gift either.

 Terrific Kid-Pleaser! Jun 02, 2007
This book was on the 2006-7 Texas Bluebonnet List. I used it to put together a musical readers' theatre program for my third graders. They loved it! This book is high-interest, the illustrations are top-quality, and it will provide endless classroom applications to the elementary crowd.
I have included a link below of a song called "My Poodle Dog" that was perfect for the play. I couldn't find any sheet music for it, so I transcribed it from this CD.
[...]
This book is a must-have for elementary teachers and school libraries.

GRIZZ is GREAT! Jan 16, 2006
What a clever, fun, and unexpected gem of a story. You could not ask for a better blend of humor and storyline to keep a child riveted and laughing all at the same time. I am so happy we got this one and hope John Frank will write some more! The illustrations are marvelous and augment the story beautifully.

SUPER Funny! Highly recommend for Boy OR Girl!! Jun 20, 2005
I bought this book because of the reviews given here on Amazon... I am SO GLAD I DID! What a treasure! (You must read this in your best Southern Texas Drawl.) You will be in stiches. I'm recommending this book to everyone I know and will be giving it for all the birthdays this year.

A Gem Jan 21, 2005
Dense with rich narrative language, crackling dialogue, stunning art and sidesplitting humor, this enormously entertaining western stands apart from the rest of the herd. The text is longer than that of most picture books, but it's all muscle and no fat; there's nary a wasted word. Many of the students in my undergraduate children's-literature course are headed for a career in elementary education, and all of them ought to include this title in their future classroom libraries.
