Publisher Description:

"Continuing her singsong journeys, Peck takes readers on a jaunty pony ride 'way out West.' Cowpokes ride the trail and get up close with a variety of regional animals before safely returning home. The rich mixture of imagination, real animals, and exuberant rhyming make this a solid choice for story time or anytime." -Jeanette Larson, children's literature consultant

"Jan Peck brings the West to life for children with rhythmic and enchanting lyrics about horny toads, prairie dogs, armadillos, jackrabbits, roadrunners, longhorns, and buffalo."
-Glenn Dromgoole, author of Good Night Cowboy and Good Night Cowgirl

"The prose is charming and sparkling with animation. It will ignite children's imaginations."
-Debbie Raindl, children's services, John Ed Keeter Public Library, Saginaw, TX

An assortment of friendly desert animals greets a young cowgirl as she heads out West on her pony. Along the way, she says "Howdy " to a scampering jackrabbit, a howling coyote, and a charging buffalo as she trots farther down the trail. Readers are introduced to these regional critters of the West before arriving to the surprise-and endearing-ending.
