Reviews
Grade 2-5-A well-done, low-key story about teamwork, originally published in Canada. Although a veteran of several cattle drives at his Uncle Roy's ranch, city slicker Tyler has always been self-conscious about wearing running shoes while riding his horse on the roundup. This year, however, he's sure that his new boots will make him an official cowboy...and might even catch his friend Jessica's eye. Disappointed that no one notices his "soft as a pony's nose" footwear, the boy finds he doesn't have much time to dwell on it as these drives are strictly business. The business at hand, of course, is moving 400 head of cattle 12 miles to the ice-cold river and then on across. Tyler's responsibilities include watching out for a recalcitrant calf and blocking an escape path between the holding corral and the river while the animals are chased into the water. Along the trail, readers see that a cowboy is defined by his initiative and grit and, just maybe, by boots that have earned some character. Graham's charming, full-color illustrations nicely complement Morck's unpretentious text. While not as detailed as Gail Gibbons's Yippee-Yay!: A Book about Cowboys and Cowgirls (Little, Brown, 1998), this gentle vignette will give children a feel for the adventure, camaraderie, and just plain hard work that goes into a modern-day cattle drive.
