Ten Cows to Texas

This is a great book for children written by an educator who understands the minds of children in the age group for whom the book was written. I have watched children read this book and also watched those too young to read "see" a story through the excellent pictures. As a retired professional educator who spent many years trying to deal with children who were reluctant to read, I guarantee that this book will be enjoyed by the little ones.

Ten Cows to Texas by Peggy Mercer is perhaps the best children book I have come across in many moons. It's a silly funny and wholesome tale for children aged 3 to 8 that involves the sage of Ten Cows that need to be in El Paso Texas the next day to get in movies and t.v. commercials, etc. But they are in the boondocks of Lonesome Cow GA. So they hijack an 18 wheeler truck and a sleepy driver and Mimi the head cow( sister) drives the big truck across the South to Texas! The book's art work is amazing and very very bright with great Colors and sparkles on the cover, and the text is great. The artist captures the true flavor of Texas with Jack Rabbit, Whitetailed deer and Texas Blue Bonnets. Texans have grabbed the book by the horns and the book is now found in the Alamo Gift Shop, and Famous BUCKHORN Saloon & Gift Shop in San Antonio, Texas and at the YO Ranch Hotel in Kerrville, Texas and the Bandera General Store on Main Street in Bandera, Texas. Also at Barkley's Outdoor World in Bourne, Texas I met the author, Peggy Mercer, on a Texas Book Tour at Hastings Books in Kerrville Texas. She autographed a book for me. I was thrilled and my grand-daughter Juliania Nathan will get it soon. It Five Stars " *****" Very Funny and Something that has never been done before! Tink Nathan Author & critic, Camp Verde Outpost Ranch, 275 Witt Road, Camp Verde, Texas 78010-3600 Two young sisters in Boerne Texas got the book and they fought over who was going to read it first. Kids Love it! That is what books are about and this is a fun, fun, fun book by Peggy June Mercer.

Thumbs up. Children need more of these conversational, fun and rewarding books. Life is too serious, even for children. Vivid illustrations and the fact that MIMI and crew won't give up, make this a great read for children, by a great storyteller, one of Georgia's best! 5 Stars!

I am not a teacher or librarian just a Gram that tries to keep a good collection of books for the kids. This book is wonderful, the story is a fun story for children, makes reading fun for them. The colors are bright something that keeps the little ones attention, drab they dont like. Its in a cartoon format which children love. All in all this is a wonderful childrens book. And this gram loves it to.
