Books with author Mike Brownlow

Meet a hilarious trio of reprobate cowpokes: Don, Deke, and the meanest of them all Dom ("He didn't even send a card at Christmas to his Mom") who are redeemed by tending to a baby. Kids will delight at the cowhands (mis)adventures trying to take care of the tyke-from feeding time ("Do you think she'd like some steak? Or maybe she'd like beans?") to changing diapers ("Aw shucks...she's sprung a leak!"). Mike Brownlow's tale combines a terrific sense of humor and a perfect story-telling ear, with a lush, saturated palette. This is one rib-ticklin', heartstring-tuggin' yarn that's sophisticated and funny enough for older readers - and action-packed and accessible to younger listeners.

"Hello, what's this?" I hear you say, "Now hang on just a minute, I can't see any pictures here, This book's got NOTHING in it!" An empty book? With blank pages? Really? How can that be? But wait! Here's a flap to lift and another flap and another. Hiding under each flap or squeezing between, over, and under the pages or chasing each other on a turning wheel or even cutting corners with a pair of pop-up scissors is a most engaging cast of child-friendly characters. Complete with a handful of bookworms and a sweet and scruffy dog, this book proves that everything is not always as it seems!
