The Toughest Cowboy or How the Wild West Was Tamed by John Frank
This very clever book of how one very rough and tough cowboy yearned for a companion is great for all young children. With Grizz Brickbottom wanting a dog to help with the cattle driving, he goes to town to find the best dog for the job. It turns out that the dog he brings back is a miniature poodle named Foofy. She is not much help in herding the cattle or chasing away mountain lions but she does keep the cowpokes entertained. This book has some of the best descriptive language, similes, metaphors and many jokes kids will love. The illustrations really do depict a Wild West of the past and help to show us what it was really like.
