Bookroo's summary

On a dark night, a brave cowboy attempts to lull his calf friends to sleep with a soothing song. But every shadow and shape seems to morph into something terrifying, like a huge hairy spider! With each comical interruption, the cowboy's imagination runs wild, turning ordinary objects into frightful creatures. Will he ever finish his lullaby and get the calves to sleep? This delightful tale of humor and imagination promises giggles and a cozy journey to dreamland.

From the publisher

This playful picture book from Jan Thomas features a courageous cowboy who croons to his cows before bed–with just a few fearful interruptions. Join the Brave Cowboy as he tries to sing his young calf pals to sleep on a dark, dark night–EEEEEEEK! IS THAT A HUGE HAIRY SPIDER OVER THERE? Oh, it’s just a flower? Well then, back to the lullaby. No one does preschool humor with Jan Thomas’s wit, verve, and bold, snappy color. And her Brave Cowboy and his silly, interrupted lullaby are sure to get everybody singing–before they head off into cozy dreamland….
