"There once was a cowpoke who swallowed an ant-- A fiery thing with a Texas-sized sting.The cowpoke panted, and his voice got higher. 'Yippie-ti-yay! My stomach's on fire!!'" In this Texas-styled reworking of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly," a cowboy downs a variety of native Southwest creatures--a spider, a roadrunner, a lizard, an armadillo, a snake, a boar, and more--all to catch that ant! Another hilarious and vividly illustrated tale from the team behind Senorita Gordita and The Three Little Gators.

This is the reaction of my four year old granddaughter to The Cowpoke book . . . abbreviated by far.Its reading time at preschool. The teacher was reading this book to the little ones, when she realized our granddaughter had tears running down her face. She was so distraught, she had to leave the room to regain herself. The director shared our granddaughter's reaction with mom ( our daughter ), so this could be thoughtfully investigated at home.My daughter reviewed the book, and in no time could see how this would have upset her compassionate little one. I just read it. It is for children who aren't so literal, and who would view its content humorously. There are preschool books better suited for general sharing. In our opinion, this (and the rest like it) are books a parent should pick out, knowing how their child will react.I do need to add: the full page illustrations are quite beautiful. The colors vibrant; the characters active and well thought out. How I wish they would be for a different line of books.
Mrs. Holder's 2nd Grade ClassThis is a good book for little kids because it rhymes, and it’s fun to read. We would rate it a four star book because we liked the way it had many different animals from Texas. It’s funny because the Cowpoke kept swallowing lots of animals to catch the ant, and he even swallowed himself! The words and the pictures go together perfectly. The illustrations are so amazing because they add a lot of details to the setting. We’re glad our teacher bought this book!!
I LOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS BOOK.The illustrations are great and attention grabbing and the story is great. No complaints. Happy teacher!
My 6 year old daughter had a hard time reading this book, even she is a good reader. The print is more for adults to read to kids.
By far my 3 year olds favorite bedtime story. He repeats the words and has a blast. He never tires of it.
Very funny, impractical change of an old story. Grandchildren will love having this read to them.
Very cute. Perfect for me to use with my Texas students, especially at Rodeo time.
I love all these stories about who swallowed what
