"Summary: Cowboy Small takes good care of his horse, Cactus. In return, Cactus helps Cowboy Small get work done on the range. Together they round up cattle for branding and live the good life. At night, Cowboy Small eats at the chuck wagon, sings with his friends, and sleeps under the stars. I read the Spanish version of this book, entitled "Vaquerno Pequeno," which had a side-by-side Spanish and English text.
Genre: Bi-lingual fiction book (Spanish and English)
Topic: cowboys, life on a ranch, bilingual book
Specific curricular uses: This book would be great for a guided reading activity in Spanish class. The teacher could first model reading the book, and then guide students as they read through and learn the Spanish words. Have students match the Spanish and English terms.
Social issues the book addresses: life on a ranch, how Spanish and American culture have intertwined
Specific literary elements: The two-language text establishes this book as mulit-cultural. The author uses some diaolgue to give readers a sense of cowboys talk and some onomatopoeia to make this book special. An example of onomatopoeia is when the author is referring to the sounds a horse makes with its hoofs, "Cloppety, cloppety, clop!" Examples of dialogue include, "Giddap, Cactus!" and "Yip-pee! Ride 'em, cowboy!"
Interactions and counter actions of text and images: The pictures do a good job of helping readers visualize the text because many children may not know what a ranch looks like or what cowboys do on a ranch. Because most children have never experienced or visited a ranch first-hand, the illustrations follow the text very closely so there is no confusion for readers.
*I would like to nominate the book, "Cowboy Small/Vaquerno Pequeno" by Lois Lenski (Spanish translation by Donald Worcester) for this award because it is a simple tale about an American cowboy that has the Spanish translation of the text side by side with the English. I like the fact that the topic of the book is not about Spanish culture, yet it has a Spanish translation, because it shows how our cultures have influenced one another and can exist in harmony with each other. This book would be excellent for 1st through 4th grade readers, and any beginning Spanish readers! Because I believe this book does a good job of showing how American and Spanish cultures have intertwined, and that the Spanish language is, in fact, an important part of America, I feel that this book is deserving of the "All around the world" award."
"This is an older publication, out of print. I was very happy to see it had been upgraded a bit. In the old days Cowboy Small was definitely white, now, in the copy I bought, he is more tan. It's a book little cowboys really love, easy to memorize and perhaps learn to read. Good for 3-4 year olds."
"My oldest loved these books (there's a whole series). They are from the 40's so they show only men, but children just love them. Most reprints I have found are in board book format.
"This is my 10 month-old's favorite kids book. There are so many different ways to read it! We use sounds effects and sing the whole "Home, home on the range" song. It's a classic."
