Why read it?

1 author picked B Is for Buckaroo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What a terrific book to learn about the cowboy’s way of life! All things related to the western lifestyle are described. There is detailed information from A-to-Z, plus a short poem using each letter for younger readers and listeners. Examples are chuck wagon, lariat, and rodeo. I think this book is so informative with its focus on western culture and western history.  

From Doris' list on cowboys and rodeos.
