Ranch Life Book 2 Cowboys and Horses
First off, book #1 ("Ranching and Livestock") was a first-class introduction to ranching! Told from Hank's perspective, young readers learned the difference between a ranch and a farm, how cows digest grass, how to run a ranch as a successful business, how to choose the right breed of cattle for your ranch, and taking care of cattle through the various types of weather...and much more!
Now, the second book in the series, "Cowboys and Horses" takes that knowledge a bit further! Saddle up for some fun as Hank gives young cowpokes a glimpse into the world of horses and the ins-and-outs of the life of a professional working cowboy! In "Cowboys and Horses," you'll learn things like: the history of traildriving in America, a cowboy's role in a ranching operation, qualities to look for in a good horse, how to train horses, roping technique, and more!
Fans of the beloved Hank the Cowdog will be delighted with this new nonfiction series that introduces children (and adults) to cowboys, horses, livestock, and more. Written in partnership with the National Ranching Heritage Center, each book introduces an essential aspect of ranch life through the eyes of Hank and his band of eccentric friends. Books conclude with a ranch life quiz (no answers) and vocabulary list. Support activities available online. Approx. 80 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne
Spending summer with grandchildren learning about cowboys- Such fun!
