A graduate of the University of Colorado and Colorado State University, she is a registered dietitian, college teacher, and wellness educator. Louise now makes her home in Michigan. At night, she often finds herself dreaming of her home state, Colorado. She was inspired to write by her deep and abiding love of the mountains and plains.



Historian Gleaves Whitney grew up in Texas where his love of the West and admiration for the cowboy way of life took root. At the age of four, he met Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Trigger. A graduate of Colorado State University and the University of Michigan, he lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Award-winning artist Susan Guy is known for her colorful paintings of equine and western themes. Her work is displayed in numerous galleries and exhibitions across the country, such as the prestigious Arts for the Parks competition in Jackson, Wyoming, and the American Academy of Equine Art in Lexington, Kentucky. One of her paintings is also included in the permanent collection of the Phippen Museum in Prescott, Arizona.

Said it was in good condition and had multiple rip’s throughout. Hopefully no pages missing.I’m going to order a new book to check and gift to my great grandson. I’ll just keep the torn one for my children’s library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tries to do too many things
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2013

I think there is a good target audience for this book - the young but not too young child really into cowboys. But it's an awkward book, with great stuff alongside not so great stuff. I got it as an alphabet book for my preschooler, and it doesn't really work as that. The text is okay and the illustrations are pretty, if repetitive (lots of horses and cowfolk - cowgirls included, which I like). But most of the terms are too advanced for my son at this stage, and the alphabet is downplayed. Also, every page has quite a lot of small text about cowboys. A child who is already curious about this stuff might enjoy it a lot, but it doesn't work as an introduction in the way I hoped. For someone really into cowboys, there are such gems as Z is for Zane Grey, and P is for Pecos Bill.

This is a beautiful unique book that gives lots of historical information about how cowboys came to be.
It is not your typical ABC kids book. But if you love the cowboy life you will love this book.
Gave it to my son in law at baby boy shower. He has been a rodeo clown/bull fighter and he loved it.
Will definitely share it with his son.

The most mature alphabet book I’ve ever seen lol. Beautiful illustrations, and each letter has a cute little rhyming poem for that letter and then an educational side-piece written as well. Teaches kids the alphabet AND interesting facts about cowboy culture. I was personally flipping through it and learning new things lol. Love it.
