There Once Was a Cowpoke Who Swallowed an Ant
What's This Book About
“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.
