Cowpoke Clyde and Dirty Dawg

Cowpoke Clyde and Dirty Dawg

by Michael Allen Austin, Lori Mortensen

About this book

Cowpoke Clyde’s house was completely clean—he’d even shooed off the “Then right behind his cookin’ pot, / he spied one thing he’d plumb / ol’ Dawg, his faithful, snorin’ friend, / all caked with mud from end to end.” Needless to say, Dawg wakes up and runs. The chase that follows—with page-turn surprises—makes for a hilarious shaggy-dog story involving fleas, a hog, bribery, cats, deception, and a mule. The rhyming stanzas are pitch-perfect, Texas-style, and plumb near cry out to be read aloud. Austin’s expressive acrylic and colored-pencil caricatures of Cowpoke Clyde and his menagerie are priceless. A storytime shoo-in!
