These stand alone titles are a nice addition to the easy reader landscape, and they work well for new readers due to their short length, large size, and engaging storylines. In&nbsp;<em>The Cowboy<\/em>, a young girl and her dog, Toto, head to the beach for some fun in the sun. On the way, she notices a boy in a silly cowboy hat. When Toto gets in trouble in the surf, who should come to the rescue but the boy&#8230; in his beautiful cowboy hat. Cute and engaging, look for this one if you have young cowboys or cowgirls in your house, particularly if your new readers are on the young side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cautions:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overall Rating:<\/strong>&nbsp;4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Worldview Rating:<\/strong> 4<\/li><li><strong>Artistic Rating:<\/strong>&nbsp;4<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Categories:<\/strong> Easy Readers, Character Values, 4 stars and up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>free&nbsp;review copy provided by Holiday House in return for a fair review; cover image from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cowboy-Like-Read-Books\/dp\/0823432025\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1430496190&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+cowboy+muller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">amazon<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cowboy (I Like to Read Series) by Hildegard Muller.
