Book Overview
A funny nocturnal fantasy and jubilant ode to innovative thinking. Every boy dreams of being a cowboy, but not every boy has such ample opportunity for playing a hero as Cowboy Ed, who finds himself in a town where tradition dictates everything. The horses ride the cowboys, and people put their underwear on last, because, Cowboy Ed is told over and over again, "That's the way we've always done it in the past." In such a silly town, it's not surprising that it's raining bears, buffaloes, and mares, as well as the proverbial cats and dogs. Like Sholom Aleichem's fools of Chelm, the panicked prairie folk, armed with fly swatters, have no idea what to do, since nothing like this has ever happened in the past!

A classic, reminiscent of Dr. Seuss' tongue twisters
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
My children love this book when it's read to them as they are tickled when dad's tongue is tied. Reminiscent of the Dr. Seuss books but with real words. As for the illustrations, they're beautiful - albeit surreal - but this only adds to its classic nature. My children, as young as they are, are culturally challenged by the artwork as its near museum quality. It makes them think!One more thing, the theme itself is applicable to the adult world where change is resisted. I've read the book aloud during training sessions where the subject matter is outside the comfort zone of many. It's a great way to add a bit of fun to what will be a long training day. I've bought this book for no less than 15 clients and am disappointed that it's out of print.
