Cowboy-themed books

I'm reading through a couple dozen picture books that have cowboys as the main subject. Next week we will kick off our AR reading program and I've offered read-alouds to all classes. The books that I liked the best and that I think will do well as read-alouds are:

Charlip, Remy: Little Old Big Beard and Big Young Little Beard

Sauer, Tammi and Mike Reed, ill.: Cowboy Camp

Failing, Barbara Larmon and Tedd Arnold, ill.: Lasso Lou and Cowboy McCoy

Mitchell, Marianne and Bryan Langdo, ill.: Joe Cinders (Southwestern retelling of the Cinderella story)

Bell, Cece: Sock Monkey Rides Again

Icenoggle, Jodi and Normand Chartier, ill: 'Til the Cows Come Home (pair this with Joseph Had a Little Overcoat)

I can't believe you have had a blog since 2007. Did I know you then? Of course. Joanie
