Parents and children will delight in the joy of reading these stories together and singing along as they share values such as politeness, responsibility, and loyalty. So You Want to Be a Cowboy entertains the listener/reader and will spark conversation about future careers in a supportive, caring manner. The second story, "Can I Go Out to Play?" is an upbeat quest for permission to enjoy some outdoor fun. Accompanied by songs of the same titles (available at the author's website), these stories will keep children singing, reading, and learning. Infectious narrative and melodies make this a "must-read" and a valuable addition to your child's library.
