A Cowpoke's Christmas
One little cowpoke has a list of chores that needs to be completed before her family celebrates the Christmas holiday. Can she do them all and is there a special gift at the end?
It’s Christmas day and Sam can hardly wait! The decorations are up and everything around the little ranch looks festive and cheery. But before the holiday celebrations can begin, Sam has a list of chores she needs to get done. With her grandfather’s help, Sam is ready to get started. The cow needs to be milked, the chickens need to be fed, and the livestock needs tending. And Hank the dog needs a good bath. It almost feels like a regular day. But in addition to the Christmas holiday, Sam and her family have another reason to celebrate. Their mare, Blossom, is getting ready for her first foal.
Through jaunty, rhyming text and adorable cartoon-like illustrations, little readers will enjoy following Sam along as she completes her chores in time for Christmas fun.
