MAD COWBOY: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat

113 reviews
Howard F. Lyman, Glen Merzer

Scribner, 2001

A life changing book
I think that everyone that cares about their health, animals or the environment should read this book. As a lacto-ovo vegetarian that eats seafood occasionally, this was an easy read for me however I would think that hard core meat eaters would be a more difficult sell. For the last 7 years that I have been a vegetarian, I have had people constantly say that I'm not eating healthy, I can't be ...

David Fromkin

Penguin Press HC, The, 2008

The Partnership that wasn't
David Fromkin is one of my favorite historians. After a stint as an expert in International Relations, who wrote on the subject (The Independence of Nations), Fromkin settled down as a historian, particularly of the various crises surrounding the First World War. Fromkin's best work is without question his 1989 opus A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of ...

Imaginative retake on an old story! Fabulous illustrations!
This is a great book for the youngest readers! Your little ones will delight in the Gingerbread Cowboy's chase across the barren lands of the Old West as he runs to save his life. Many animals are after him but he manages to outwit them all, even the clever old coyote, with the help of the rancher's wife. Kids will laugh when they hear the Gingerbread Cowboy chant, " ...

Cowboy Values: Recapturing What America Once Stood For

James P. Owen

The Lyons Press, 2008

Simple and direct, not simplistic
We live in a complicated world full of different agendas, competing for our hearts and minds. Like his first book "Cowboy Ethics", James Owen presents a guide to navigating the terrain of modern life, simply, elegantly, and with heart. I wish I had written this book. I wrote down the ethics and values from both books in a small notebook, and carry it with me daily for inspiration. Buy this ...

Bubba, The Cowboy Prince
This twist on "Cinderella" is a romp! I read it to my students in a Texas accent, and they were totally enthralled. A fun read!

Cowboy Ethics

29 reviews
James P. Owen, David R. Stoecklein

Stoecklein Publishing, 2005

Cowboy Ethics
Very accurate in terms of the "cowboy" expectations of society. Truth, honesty, taking responsibility are always on the forefront. Without those characteristics you don't get far with animals or people.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS
Kinda brings you back to earth,never thought this major stuff was going on in pro sports. Lots of egos colliding behind the scenes.

Cops and Cowboys

Lora Leigh, Shiloh Walker

Ellora's Cave, 2005

21st Century Woman
Lora Leigh fans will not be disappointed! The Alpha Males in this book showed compassion and tenderness to Cat's situation where she is once again being punished for her evil identical twin's ruthless actions. The sex scenes were erotic and even had the main Alpha character proposing to get the woman who has stolen his heart. I am a fan for Victorian romances ...

This was a gift for a Dallas Cowboys fan who is over 70 years old, and he loved it! The best birthday present i bought for my father yet. He really enjoyed the book.

Every Child needs Cowboy Small
This is a great book, very light hearted and catchy. Be prepared to keep it handy, it's one of those books you will read to your child, niece, nephew.... over and over again.

The Toughest Cowboy: or How the Wild West Was Tamed (Bccb Blue Ribbon Picture Book Awards (Awards))

8 reviews
John Frank

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2004

A Gem
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 ...

One Real Cowboy (Zebra Debut)

4 reviews
Janette Kenny

Zebra, 2007

Colorful and sensuous debut western historical romance
Set in the 1890s in Kansas, Janette Kenny's amazing debut historical makes the reader sense the time period in vivid detail. The mismatch romance sizzles with suspenseful action that makes One Real Cowboy a fast-paced page turner. Jannette Kenny is a master storyteller. Beatrix Northrope hires cowpoke Cord Tanner to marry her in order to abide by her grandfather's demands that she be married ...

Cowboy Up! (Rookie Readers)

Larry Dane Brimner

Children's Press(CT), 1999

Yeeha!
This book is fun to read and fun to look at for both the reader and the "readee". The illustrations are wonderfully interesting. The text is fit for young readers, but not boring. A great book to have before or after a visit to the rodeo.

Wonderful story for preschool and elementary aged children!
My children (ages 3&4) loved this book! We rented it so much from the local library that it was well worth the money to buy it.

Cowboy and Octopus

Jon Scieszka

Viking Juvenile, 2007

Hilarious
I love Jon Scieszka's books--we have most of them on my kids' book shelf--but this one is by far my favorite. I think it is the perfect mixture of simplicity, good underlying messeges about friendship, and humor that an adult can appreciate. My daughter loves it too. Lane Smith's illustrations are also fun and unique. Good job, Jon and Lane! Keep them coming!

The All-American Cowboy Cookbook : Over 300 Recipes From the World's Greatest Cowboys

9 reviews
Ken Beck, Jim Clark, 2000

Cowboy Cookin' FUN!!!!!!!!
I absolutely LOVED this book. I'm a big fan of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, and was delighted to see pictures of them in there, and actual recipes from the real people! Not only are the recipes real cowboy food, but the facts, trivia, and other neat stuff in the book is just as much part of the book as the recipes! The sections are labeled in a very western-y style: Appetizers are "The Frontier", ...

The Dirty Cowboy

Amy Timberlake, Adam Rex

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2003

What a wonderfully funny story!
My 3 year old thinks that this is the greatest book ever written. The story is engaging and the illustrations are priceless. My husband and I would read this story even if we didn't have kids. It's awfully hard not to like the dirty cowboy or his dog.

I Want To Be A Cowboy (I Want to Be)

Dan Liebman

Firefly Books, 1999

Because of this book I WILL be a cowboy!
I never thought being a cowboy could be so easy. This book shows you step by step how to be a world famous cowboy. I have completly converted. All I listen to now is cowboy music and my belt buckles are twice the size they used to be. I am the hit of the party at all the cowboy bars that I now have VIP cards at. Thank you I want to be a cowboy. You have changed my life for the better!

Iron Cowboy (Silhouette Desire)

Diana Palmer

Silhouette, 2008

Don't give up on Ms. Palmer
I read iron cowboy very fast when I received it. Out of habit I immediately reread this book. Upon rereading it I read things I missed the first time. Jared to feel remorse but coped badly with his quilt and of course blamed Sarah. No doubt this was not the best book I have every read, but I did enjoy it. Ms. Palmer is a good writer, but I think it would be hard to develop a good story when ...
