About this title

Synopsis

When Mimi and her nine cow sisters saw the ad in the newspaper, they knew Destiny was calling: Ten cows needed for TV, movies, and advertising! Mimi and her sisters had the talentand they knew it. There was only one catch: They had to be in El Paso, Texas by six p.m.on the dotthe following day. How do ten cows travel to tryouts from Lonesome Cow, Georgia, to El Paso? By truck, of course! How do ten cows get a truck? And what do ten cows do about a driver who would rather sleep than drive? "Stay tuned, darling," as Mimi might say, "'cause here's a tall tale that'll make even Paul Bunyan look mighty puny!"

Outrageous and larger than life, this is the children's book debut of both the author and the artist, who treat their readers to an unforgettable rip-roarin' yarn told in a deep Southern drawl and over-the-top images!
