Why Cowboys Sleep With Their Boots On

"Young cowpokes everywhere will take a shine to this rib-ticklin' tale." —Publishers Weekly

Slim Jim Watkins, like most cowboys, is a hardworkin', lasso-wieldin' cowhand. All Slim Jim Watkins wants to do at the end of a long day roping cattle is to ease out of his saddle, throw off his clothes, and take a deep snooze. But little by little, Slim Jim Watkins finds that his old way of getting ready for bed just won't do. Before it's all over with, he decides it's better just to fall down on his bedroll, boots and all . . .

This beautifully illustrated, amusing story with its anticipatory suspense will delight kids and grown-ups alike, who'll enjoy the nightly entourage of desert animals who play a key role—that is, until Slim Jim Watkins learns a thing or two and starts to sleep with his boots on!

"An amusing yarn . . . Fun for a group read-aloud." —School Library Journal
