review:

'Rodeo Red' is the kind of kids picture book that I instantly wanted to read out loud in my best cowboy accent. It's an adorably illustrated book that instantly took my back to my favorite picture books growing up.



Rodeo Red and her favorite dog Rusty are completely content until her little brother "Side Swiping Slim" shows up to ruing things for her. She appeals to her parents, I mean the sheriff and her deputy, but they don't se things Red's way. When Slim decides to take an interest in Rusty, then Red decides to take matters into her own hands. Can this cowgirl find justice in a town where her best dog's been dognapped?



This was such a cute story, and I loved the illustrations by Molly Idle. They reminded me of classic Golden Books, and that's the best praise I could give any children's books. The story is great for any child who suddenly has to share space and belongings with a younger sibling. The prose is lilting and made me want to practice my Sam Elliott impersonation and russle up some young critters to read to.



I received a review copy of this ebook from Peachtree Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to read this wonderful children's ebook.
