Rating:
Summary: Yeee Haw!
Review: If you have read any other Jeanette Winter books, you know the quality and content are excellent. This book is no different. Cowboy Charlie is very special! It is a true Cowboy Story...the story of Charles Marion Russell, the great painter and sculptor, who was a cowboy, too! The sweet story shares how Charlie's parents wisely supported their son's dreams of the West and his artistic talent. The book's illustrations are a rich and colorful quilt that brings warmth to the story. Your budding artist should read this. Your little cowpoke will be encouraged to embrace his cowboy dreams in a new way. This is the stuff of great children's books. Get it.
