From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2?Emerson and Post give kids the ultimate fantasy: mom's permission to "leave home and become a cowboy." Tired of cleaning his room, eating meat loaf and mashed potatoes, and going to bed at eight o'clock, Andrew McAlister joins the Bar-T ranch hands in their roping, branding, bean and cornbread eating, and sleeping under the wide open sky...until that, too, becomes routine. He returns home where he finds his life not so offensive and where he sometimes dreams of being a cowboy. Emerson's dry wit combines with Post's clever perspectives for a quiet, humorous story. Andrew's mother responds to her son's quest with a matter-of-fact, "Please try not to get your clothes too dirty." And while his vision of cowboy romanticism is seen from boot-level perspective, his disillusionment with cowhand chow is shown from the cook's viewpoint. Post sprawls his purple-blues and rusts across two-page spreads, ideal for both the settings and for adding a surrealistic tinge to the boy's fantasy. The large format enables group read-alouds, while the sparse text is appropriate for the just-beyond-beginning readers.?Claudia Cooper, Ft. Stockton Independent School District, TX
