Bookroo's summary
In a wild Texas twist on a classic tale, a cowboy gulps down a series of Southwest critters, from spiders to boars, all in a desperate bid to catch a fiery ant. As his stomach churns and his voice rises, will he ever find relief? Dive into this hilarious adventure where each gulp brings unexpected chaos and laughter.
From the publisher
“There once was a cowpoke who swallowed an ant– A fiery thing with a Texas-sized sting. The cowpoke panted, and his voice got higher. ‘Yippie-ti-yay! My stomach’s on fire!!’”In this Texas-styled reworking of There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, a cowboy downs a variety of native Southwest creatures–a spider, a roadrunner, a lizard, an armadillo, a snake, a boar, and more–all to catch that ant! Another hilarious and vividly illustrated tale from the team behind Senorita Gordita and The Three Little Gators.
