Every Cowgirl Needs a Horse
Penguin, 2010
Summary: Nellie Sue is a cowgirl who needs a horse. And when she gets a bike for her birthday, she uses her imagination to ride her horse around the neighborhood. Full of whoopin' and hollerin', and a good ole time.
Lesson: This was completely impromptu--the children realizing it was my birthday insisted we read a birthday book. I had just gotten this one in a delivery, so I read it to them. The girls loved it; the boys were at first put off by all the pink, but then became involved with her crashing down the hill and lassoing the other kids. Afterwards, we had fun sharing what we imagine when we ride a bike, or go down a slide, etc.
Level: PreK-2nd
