Maybe I choose the wrong audience with this. Quite possible. I read this to my Kindergartners and unfortunately, they just didn't get the humor. I even tried to give each cowboy a different voice....to fit his personality, but it flopped. Could have been the reader's fault and not the author. I think we were all sort of confused with the structure of the story.
I love this dorky cowboy Christmas tale. These cowboys have to make due with what they've got around to feel festive during the holidays.
O
it was not good at all and it was very inipropet..............................

This is a cute holiday book for those children who say they want to grow up to be a cowboy. The three cowboys, Dwight, Darryl and Dub, while stuck out on the range eating beans around the camp fire, remember Christmas' past and long for the traditional Christmas activities they are missing. The illustrations by John Manders are bright colorful caricatures which will delight all readers. The story will probably attract boys more than their parents or girls.
While working on the range, three cowboys long for the Christmas traditions of their youth. Love the illustrations!
Even though it currently is not in season, Cowboy Christmas is well worth the read anytime. Rob Sanders is expert with words, using some that will broaden a child’s vocabulary while enhancing the story. He has written such a cute twist on the idea of preparing for Christmas when things are not the same as one is used to having available.Three days before Christmas four cowboys are in the desert – three are taking care of a herd of longhorn cattle and the fourth is the fatherly cook. The three wo...
The illustrations were kind of cute. The cowboys didn't think Santa could find them way out on the range. They tried to make things look like Christmas. The used a cactus for a tree, and put cans of corn to decorate it. At the end of Christmas day, Santa found them, and brought them a tree and presents, and sang around the camp fire.
This is a fun book about three cowboys who are missing Christmas at home. They try to recreate their visions of a Christmas tree, cookies, and Santa's sleigh, but the reality doesn't quite match up to their dreams. At the end, they're surprised by a fantastic Christmas and a little party with Santa that was everything they imagined. I enjoyed the drawings and the story, but I wish the cowboys could have been happy with their own Christmas.
Giving this an interesting because I am not quite sure what to make of it. Cowboys are sad they will miss Christmas and don’t have the traditions they used to have when they are kids. So they try recreating them with what they have on the trail. The ending is what has me confused. I liked the book, but feel like I missed something.
This was humorous and I could see a little boy enjoying it. There are just so many other, better Christmas books available.
Cute idea, executed well.
Dwight, Darryl, and Dub are 3 cowboys way out on the range. They are sad to be missing Christmas, so their cook named Cookie recommends they decorate a Christmas tree. All they can find is a cactus, so they decorate that...but it doesn't look much like a Christmas tree. Then they reminisce about Christmas sugar cookies, so cookie recommends they make some cookies. However, their scorched cookies with beans aren't very appetizing. Cookie reminds them that he has Christmas Day off. Dwight, Darryl,...
Dwight, Darryl and Dub are three cowpokes lamenting their plight as they face a lonely and bleak Christmas Day out on the range. As they gather round the campfire several days before Christmas, each one recalls their childhood traditions waiting for the holiday: trimming the tree, baking cookies for “Santy” and decorating horses to look like reindeer. Cookie, the camp cook, urges each one in turn to re-create their childhood Christmas traditions. But a cactus tree, bean-sprinkled fried cookies a...
Three cowboys out on the range grumble and whine about missing the Christmases of their youth while their cook encourages them to get into the spirit and make do with what's available. Miss your childhood tree? Decorate a cactus with hay and cans of corn! Miss your mama's sugar cookies? Bake your own with what you have! (However, sugar-molasses-bean cookies are not delicious and Christmasy.) And even with twig antlers and red Rudolph noses stuck on, heifers are not acceptable substitutes for rei...
