Synopsis
Grab your hats and ride along with Cowboy Billy on his mail run to 44th Street. Follow Billy on his adventurous journey as he weaves through an imaginary landscape where he dodges rustlers on bicycles, sheriffs directing stalled traffic, and chuck-wagon cooks dishing up hot dogs. Billy's imaginative journey will delight cowboys, cowgirls and tenderfeet of all ages. Full color.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2?Influenced by the cowboy stories of his Grandpa who has recently died, Billy rides an imaginary pony express through the streets and parks of his New York City neighborhood. The author combines old western and modern urban descriptions in her text and includes sympathetic adults who support Billy's fantasy. Gouache illustrations in bold colors and with cockeyed perspectives enhance the fantasy. When the boy stops for the breakdown of a wagon train or when he outsmarts a gang of bandits, the pictures show a truck with a flat tire or tough older boys whizzing by on bicycles. Billy's grandfather has told him an old legend in which stars are the campfires of people who have died. When the child's adventure is over, he climbs to the roof of his building to say good night to his Grandpa's campfire, assuring young readers that the man lives on in his grandson's memories. This is a useful addition to collections in which cowboy fantasies such as Chris Van Allsburg's Bad Day at Riverbend (Houghton, 1995) are popular or where stories about dealing with the death of a beloved relative are needed.?Barbara Chatton, College of Education, University of Wyoming, Laramie
