The lovable duo of Cowgirl Kate and her horse, Cocoa, are
back - this time for some fun (and not-so-fun) adventures in the
rain.
Cocoa isn't so sure about being outside during a thunderstorm,
even if the thought of racing the wind sounds exciting. He may
just get his chance, though - on the way back to the safety of
the barn! Pretending to have a cold might give Cocoa an idea
of what a sick cow would feel like, but missing out on timothy
grass, apples, and corn is not appealing. When it comes to
wearing a rain sheet, Cocoa isn't much for the idea. It looks
silly, and besides, prancing in the puddles is so much fun! Until
you're dripping wet and shivering, that is. After the rain, the air
is fresh, the grass is sweet, and the joy of chasing the pot of
oats at the end of the rainbow can't be beat.
Once again, author Erica Silverman and illustrator Betty Lewin
bring to life the tales of one cowgirl and her sweet horse. The
books in this series are wonderful for beginning readers, and
the love between a young girl and her horse perfectly describes
the true meaning of friendship.
