Cowboy Bunniesby Christine Loomis
Staff Pick
Busy from dawn to night, these long-eared cowpokes wrangle cattle, eat taters, and dance under moonlit skies. Western charm oozes from the beautifully colored, wood-distressed illustrations. Your favorite buckaroos and buckarettes will find Cowboy Bunnies irresistible. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The rollicking bedtime bunny tale, now available in a board book!
Cowboy bunnies wake at sunrise and off they go, riding their ponies, roping cattle, mending fences, and tossing hay. When evening falls, they gather round the campfire to feast and play their fiddles. But soon cowboy bunnies are rubbing their sleepy eyes, and it's time to head home, where mamas sing sweet lullabies, and papas softly harmonize.

Publishers Weekly
