Why read it?
1 author picked The Dirty Cowboy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One word: hilarious! In typical tall tale fashion, The Dirty Cowboy teaches a humorous lesson about keeping our body clean. As the mother of 4 boys, it was easy to draw parallels in my children’s lives and the cowboy in the book in order to coax them into the bathtub…even if it would take a good roll in the dirt the next day to get the dog to recognize them again.
From Jennifer's list on teaching great life lessons without being preachy.
